Reinstalled Rock from scratch, Reattacked USB Music Ext HDs. Can play music but all Playlists are missing. Those playlists took 3yrs to create.
How do I restore only the playlists?
Where are the backups and the file extensions of the playlists and
What dir/folder do I copy them to?
There were backup errors for weeks, and may need to go to older backups?
Thank you.
You can restore your playlist and Roon library along with any edits you have made by restoring a Roon database backup. It is wherever you programmed Roon to put it. Hopefully, you did nightly backups or at least frequently.
Go to Roon - Settings - Backups - Browse and maybe you will see the path to them. Of course, you will need to reattach the USB drive or whatever device you put them on unless they are on the same computer device as your Roon server.
Hello Jim,
Thank you for the quick response and the help on playlists restore. It worked! Thank you so much!! My husband was so frustrated for the last six weeks not being able to use Roon Rock and went back to his Sony HAP while I was pulling my hair out.
We weren’t able to connect to NUC8i7 Roon Rock after much input from Roon Community users who tried to help… it was much appreciated. Even purchased a NUC10i7 to try to install from scratch with exact same issue… none of the Remotes saw ROCK NUC.
No explanation as to why Remotes dropped connectivity as nothing on network changed.
I’m not into music or knowledgeable about Roon. I really thank you Jim for the last leg of getting his Roon Rock up and restoring his cherished playlists. At least I don’t need to divorce him now… LOL
Thank you Jim, Thank you Roon Community Users!
One last question… lauched Backup as everything is working now. I received Backup status on Roon Optimized ROCK when backup to external SSD HD #1
Red error mssg “Backup failed at 21:23:01 / Error backing up database”
Do you know if this is due to external SSD HD #1 is full or insufficient space to perform backup?
Inserted 8gb thumb drive to test backup and completed w/o error.
Thanks again.
I had that once when I knew the USB HDD was not full. So, I just reformatted the drive and it’s worked ever since. There may be other solutions, but I don’t know what they are.
If you decide to go this route, make sure you have at least one good backup on another drive, just in case. Or, get another drive.
Understood. That’s a good idea as always should make a verified backup before reformatting. Thank you Jim. 
Backup of SSD external HD for music encountered several corrupted files in the 308ee334-72d0-92f1-7008-1cde9b607e87 directory.
Can I delete this directory?
Will it auto re-create/populatate once a backup is performed?
I don’t know, but I suppose someone does. If me, I would set that drive aside and get a new USB HDD for backups. I took a 1TB HDD out of an old computer and put it in a case from Amazon.
Thanks Jim for response.
