Backup MPD database - ststefanov - 06-10-2023
Hi, I have thousands of items in the file list and when I install new version I have to re-scan again whole library which needs several hours to finish.
Is it possible to add mpd database as option in the backup/restore process? What files need to be backed up (excluding /var/lib/mpd/database)?

I've never tried backup/restore of the mpd database and related files but you could try the following:
/var/lib/mpd/database
/var/local/www/libcache_*
/var/local/www/imagesw/thmcache/*
The system you are restoring to would need to have the same named paths to the music files in /media or /mnt or there would be breakage because mpd database contains these named paths in the file: tag.
