relocating server question

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

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.
