Thanks guys, I'm starting the backup of all my Jellyfin metadata files now via rsync + SSH ( rsync -av --progress /volume1/@appdata/jellyfin/ /volume1/redacted/JellyFin-Metadata-Backup/ ).
I tried using the file browser app but it doesn't launch for me. I'm going to do my best to put together a guide of my migration process, or attempt lol, and share it with this thread when done. I'm actually moving from one raid to another (4x8TB RAID5) to (3x24TB RAID5) on my DS920+ in the next few days once my drives arrive, so not doing anything just yet. Once drives arrive, I will then setup docker for first time ever on the new raid array, restore all my media files with hyper-backup, then copy my metadata files into my docker container afterwards (I assume, again, brand new to docker). I plan to follow this JellyFin Synology Docker setup guide, it seems the newest and most accurate (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-hpTxdU35g).
The individual who created that guide said "I actually did check out Jellyfin's Synology installation guide and it is actually dated. The way they describe installing Jellyfin is probably what you would do prior to DSM 7.1 (I think) or whenever Synology changed over from the Docker package to Container Manager. If you are using Container Manager, then you probably want to install Jellyfin, and any other Docker containers, using Projects and the .yml configuration file.". I assume he is correct, and his docker-compose.yml code in the description is good?
I plan to setup my synology volumes and folder names exactly the same as my previous RAID array, so I don't think there should be any problems with identification?
