Poor experience with RoonArc and new sever

So, my Mac mini server died and bought a new one.
Restored Roon from a backup.

Went to RoonArc and had to connect to new server, this deleted all my downloads. Appears there is no restore option for the music downloaded.

Not a great experience. Need todo it all manually.

I had the same experience! Downloaded everything again. Shouldn’t really happen!

This is currently a known limitation in ARC: If you switch to a new server or even just restore a backup, it is considered a new server and ARC must re-sync. One of the consequences is that it loses the downloads.

For backups, a solution is hopefully on the horizon. I’m not sure if this extends to new servers:

This quote was from 13 days ago and there was a regular release since then, but I can’t find this item in its release notes, so maybe it is still on the way.

Interesting, hopefully a solution then !
