Hi All,
Getting into this big time now & am running out of storage space Currently have 2 x 2tB HDD's, one being the base version of the media files held within the other so that I have a complete backup in the event of failure.
Now thinking of having a newer PC (refurb. i5 SFF, cheap to buy, cheap to run) with 2 x 2tB ssd's (cheap to run) with the idea of having, initially, a system that I can leave running 24/7.
My current thinking is to split my existing JF setup to have film collections, films, kiddies, musicals, music videos, stored on one ssd, with TV stored on the second ssd. Having 2 x 2tB ssd's will allow me to use the existing 2 HDD's as the base backup in another PC. As I'm splitting the existing folders I can't just clone the HDD's so will need to migrate them to the new PC.
Question. I've read this guide https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/discussions/6924 which gives an insight to editing the db files to change locations for JF without having to redo everything, but are there any likely pitfalls/problems/suggestions from anyone whose already done something similar?
Thanks in advance.
Merry Christmas in advance too!!!
