I would like to copy a Plex Server to another computer (Windows to Windows), which I know how to do.However, I still want to use both servers. So basically my current Plex Server is in my house and I want to copy it in its entirety on another compueter in my son's apartment so he will have the same server "in house" with no need to stream remotely from the original server.
I am assuming the second server has to have a different name, so what I did was change the name of the original server and backed up all the appropriate files. I then backed up the Window Registry files. I then changed the name back on the original server.
My question is if I restore the backed up server (under a different name), will it work? I am assuming the account will still be the same so I wasn't sure if you can have 2 different servers on two completely different networks on the same account? I have no issues creating another account, but I'm thinking the backed up files and the registry will only look for my existing log in credentials so I'm not sure how it will all work.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for any help.
