I need to move my Jellyfin install from one Windows PC to another. Is there a way to backup and restore my settings, watched status, etc so I don’t have to set it all up from scratch on the new PC?
Thanks in advance.

In the Jellyfin Admin dashboard it should tell you what the Data Directory and Config Directories are. Backup those folders and then restore them and it should preserve all your metadata and progress, etc. Make sure that your library is in the same directory path after you restore your configs.

Thank you for the response. I can't see those anywhere on the dashboard. What I can see is attached.

I would just backup the entire C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server directory. The database, by default, is at C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\data\jellyfin.db. That has all your metadata and watch progress, etc.
