Backup-Plex

Powershell script that backs up a standard Windows Plex Media Server installation. Does not include any media! Important files are mirrored to a specified location, then the same files are compressed and the zip file is moved to a second location.

A Plex backup should contain the contents of %USERAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server and an export of the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server (for more information see https://support.plex.tv/articles/201539237-backing-up-plex-media-server-data)

This script first mirrors the Plex data (minus the cache folder which is not required and the Metadata folder, which would be useful but not critical to a restore and is very large) to a destination supplied in settings.

It then exports the registry key to the same location, before zipping the mirror and key to a temporary location and moving the zip file out to some other destination.
