pB - A Plex backup utility

This is a simple GUI program for backing up a Plex server built for Windows with Electron to simplify my backup routine.

What it does

It copies the registry keys for Plex and makes a winRAR file of the folder Plex stores all the program data. This includes metadata, plugins, thumbnails and other custom posters, subtitles etc you've added.

If the Plex server is running it will close it, make a WinRAR file of the data directory and then launch Plex again.

Note: The Cache directory has been omitted to reduce the filesize and to save time compressing the winRAR file.

How to use

  1. Select the Plex data directory. By default it is located here: C:/{your user}/AppData/Local/Plex Media Server.
  2. Select the folder where pB should save the backup files.
  3. Run the backup.
