When I make my backups I simply rsync everything. But I schedule the backup in the middle of the night when Jellyfin is idle, so maybe that is a factor. Was your backup job running while the server was actively writing to the DB? IDK.
Sounds like you have NFO saver enabled in your shows library but not movies. This can help preserve metadata, but only really makes a difference if your media is frequently misidentified. Either due to being esoteric or not naming the folders appropriately, etc.
But you have to take the additional step of locking the NFOs since, by default, Jellyfin writes the NFOs unlocked.
