Scrypted Backup and Restore

The Scrypted database can be copied to another server by copying the volume directory. The volume path depends on your current installation host platform:

• Linux
  • ~/.scrypted/volume
• Mac
  • ~/.scrypted/volume
• Windows
  • C:\Users\USERNAME\.scrypted\volume
  • Replace USERNAME with your username.

1. Copy the volume to your new server, and place it in the appropriate location. The volume can be restored on any other Scrypted installation, even another architecture or host OS.
2. Start Scrypted on the new server.
3. Update the Scrypted Server Address setting since the new server will have a different IP address.
