With the discussion about backups, I would like to raise a question I

Having backups does no good if you cannot restore them. Files are rather

I tried compiling from source, but that is a bigger learning curve that

Gerbera is a fork of Mediatome that I have used for many years. It is a

No change in hardware or network.
