Backup plugins before 9.10 update

[carleycr]

I'm wanting to update to 9.10 stable. I'm currently on 9.3 stable and need to update to 9.3.1 stable before jumping to 9.10.

I know I need to backup my config file, which I've done. I'm also wanting to backup my plugins as I've lost them before in an update and do not want to mess with that again. Can someone please remind me how I backup my configs for the below plugins

Plex
SabNZBD
Transmission
CouchPotato
Sickrage

Thanks in advance

The metadata directories for those plugins are listed here, in the box "Relevant information..."

If you backup and restore those folders to fresh installs of those plugins they will work as the old instance. When I upgraded my system my plugin jails actually continued to work as they did in 9.3 so hopefully you'll be lucky.

I think you will lose the ability to update your packages if you don't update your jails as they will still be on FreeBSD 9 and not FreeBSD 10. I would save your configs just to be safe.
