restored data is in place. If your new server is not functioning properly, please review this documentation and also
see the “Troubleshooting” section on page 26.

the software upgrade prior to performing the backup. Instructions for installing the software upgrade can be found

to your existing system, including playlists and user information. These can be found on page 3 “Backing Up Data
and Media”.
