Restoring Roon database backup to new import of music files

Hi @wkimbel87 ----- Thank you for the report, let’s see if we can get this straightened out for you.

First, and problem the most important question here is, do you have any backups created that are stored elsewhere OR are the backups completely gone due to the HD failure? It is a touch unclear to me based on the information in your post, so apologies for any confusion on my part.

The answer to the question will dictate the following:

Scenario #1: You have a backup you can work with:

  • Copy your media to the ST-AP, let that finish.

  • Once the media is loaded onto the ST-AP, launch the application and from the login screen use the “restore from backup” feature.

  • When the application comes online confirm that there is NO content present in the application.

  • Checking “library clean up” will confirm that Roon was aware of the content.

  • Go to the “storage” tab, click "edit " in the “3 dot” menu next to the previous storage location, navigate to where the music was copied to, and select this location.

Scenario #2: You don’t a backup you can work with:

  • Copy your media to the ST-AP, let that finish.

  • Launch the application and complete the onboarding process.

  • Setup your watch folders and you should be good to.

Note: “Scenario 2” is how you can start with a fresh install due the absence of backup from the previous Roon DB.
