    Hallo 

    Is it possible to copy an entire liberary when installing a new harddisk, or do I need to move all the files to new harddisk and put in meta data again ? Confused-face

    You can backup all your current database files including the library file. Assuming you are using Windows you need to backup/copy the ProgramFiles/Jellyfin folder. But make sure to stop your server first or it won't be able to copy the library file itself. Always good to make a backup from time to time. Once copied to your new hard drive the server 'should' start up again like normal. Should. Good luck!

    Path are hard-coded in database, so that's generally not going to work.
