You need to make sure you have a backup of the TrackStat data. The
recommended way is to setup automatic backup once a day but you can
also do it as a one time backup in the "Backup" section of the
TrackStat settings page. Automatic backup once a day is configured by
specifying a time and backup directory in the same settings page.
However, TrackStat will only be able to restore if the music file paths
have changed under two circumstances:
1. You have musicbrainz id tags in your music
2. The last part of the path to all music files are the same. For
example, you can change drive but you can't rename the album folder for
a specific album.
If the paths have changed some other way you can always manually edit
the backup file in a text editor and use it's "replace all" feature but
depending on what you have changed that could be a lot of work.
