Backup Plex For Ubuntu Reliably

It’s no secret that I like watching TV. From movies to TV shows, I like ’em all. I’m also a very happy cord cutter. This means I use a combination of services ranging from Netflix to Amazon Prime for my video content. I also have a fair bit of media on Plex.

Like a lot of people, I use Plex to store digital copies of my media. Doing so, lets me watch my DVDs in a format that doesn’t require me to leave my couch. Unfortunately, Plex is dependent on me to maintain a working storage option here at home. In my case, that would be a USB connected hard drive attached to an old computer. For you, perhaps it’s a NAS with multiple drives.
