When scanning jellyfin removes everything except watch data from its database that is no longer present.
There are 2 ways to mitigate that in the future:
1. Backup. Often.
2. Use NFO/image saver to save metadata directly next the media
3. Just follow our naming scheme and folder structure so that you can always rescan media easily

Thanks for your reply. I feared this might be the case.
I do already follow the correct naming convention for shows and movies (unfortunately certain ones still try to use the wrong metadata, no matter the metadata provider I use) so getting everything back isn't the biggest problem. It is all the recently added and time scanned into the library data that I want to maintain.
What would need to be backed up to specifically keep that data?
