    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.
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
    Storage
        4x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1

    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.
