Restoring PMS backups on new installation - questions

$
0
0

I have rebuilt my server with Ubuntu 16.04 and PMS 1.1.0.2611. I backed up everything in /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server and now I need to restore.
I have not set up any libraries in Plex yet, I assume that I will restore first and then add libraries. Please let me know if I should add libraries first.

In order to restore all the backed up items, I imagine that I need to delete the existing ones first.
Problem No 1 - I cannot access the Application Support folder. See below:

leif@HP-ProLiant-MicroServer:/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library$ l
Application Support/
leif@HP-ProLiant-MicroServer:/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library$ cd Application Support
-bash: cd: Application: No such file or directory

leif@HP-ProLiant-MicroServer:/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library$ ls -al
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Aug 24 08:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Aug 24 08:24 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Aug 24 08:24 Application Support

What do I need to do here? I cannot remove the existing items without accessing the folder /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server. Should I change the owner temporarily?

Hoping for help.

Thanks in advance.
