Migrating server with no backup but storage and uploads intact
Hey folks looking for a bit of advice to hopefully save some time. I followed the backup and restore docs and assumed I would have a backup in my upload folder, not realizing that my version was too outdated to have this feature. (v1.117)
Now the server is nuked and I'm starting from scratch, so I was wondering if there is any sort of "rescan library" feature I could use to avoid uploading everything again, since I still have my uploads and storage folders intact.
My pictures were backed up somewhere else so it's not the end of the world, but I would like to be able to restore my albums and favs and such.
If theres no way I understand, its my mistake.
Thanks for the help!
