Plex Media Index File Backup Script

This script copies the media index files from the Plex Media Server to the referenced Movie folder for backup.

To restore the index files i wrote a Plex Scanner you can find on my gitHub Channel.

Requirements

• xampp or other php and mysql webserver
• plex media server
• index-sd.big files must be generated by your plex media server

Installation

• import the sql file into your mysql Database to create the needed table
• add user and db settings in Connections/local.php

Limitations

• Does only backup Movie index files

Please use it at your own risk, i used it for my whole media without problems.
