Hint/Tip: If you change the database backup path in Plex Settings > Scheduled Tasks > Backup directory then under normal circumstances you would need to wait 3 days for the backup to run and then be saved to the new location, however, the Butler Scheduled Tasks module will allow you to perform a database backup to the new location, immediately.
