KarterJK 35 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Right now I have my server set up on my gaming machine (it is just easier to use) as I am learning all the ins and outs of the program. I have been adding my folders and files etc. But here is my question, I eventually want my server to reside on another machine. I realize I will need to reset up my users etc. But the actual physical file locations of my movie files will not change (they are on network drives). So if I re-install and re-scan, will all of my files (hidden values, sort names, etc) remain the same, or will I have to re-scan and re-enter all of information for each individual file? Or is there a database that has all the information in it? I hope you understand the question Edited December 21, 2014 by KarterJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution techywarrior 688 Posted December 21, 2014 Solution Share Posted December 21, 2014 If you select the option to store the data in the media folders then the new server won't have to re-download all the data. Also, there is a plugin called Server Configuration Backup you can use for backup/restore to keep all your users and library setups from one server to the next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
