Title: NAS migration foe 2 bay x 2 to 4bay
Post by: stanzani on April 07, 2021, 04:36:55 am

Hi there
I have migrated my databases for a pair of 2 bay NAS (raid1 each) to a single raid5 4 bay NAS.
Each 2bay NAS had a multimedia directory with audio, video, images subdirs.
I copied / merged them in the mutimedia directory of the 4 bay NAS
Everything has been back up.
I have experience some oddities like:
- MANY tags of ISO and m3u files files has disappeared (custom tags like composer and composition). Is there a way to recover them_ after all they were unde backup )also MC library has been backed up Æ) ....=
- some pictures are not in: I think the picture of multiple albums which share the same folder.jpg like
<album folder>
     folder.jpg
     <1>
     <2>
      ...

I fear I have to fix this manually...

Do you recommend to split ISO to DSF or DSF?
Do you recommend t spit m3u into single files?
Do you recommend du duplicate images in the album folder?
I was figuring out ISO tags were stored in the companion xml file
Please advice

update: I re imported two ISO files but just 2 tracks are displayed ...

Is there a way to change the image file location by script? I cannot do that with library tools
e.g. replace z:\music with z:\audio?
I also do not like to have the image file inside the file. Is the a way to automate the process to have it in a common file like
folder.jpg?
Will this happens in the future? I am very SCARY to loose hours of tag entering ... I see JRiver uses absolute paths for storing images and others  ( VERY bad practice: relative paths is WAY MUCH better) and give precedence to the m3u files instead of the xml aside the ISOs ...
At least this is what I guess
