Restoring Subsonic setup

I had to rebuild my PC, so I copied my entire subsonic folder to another drive. Now I'm trying to restore the subsonic environment and it doesn't seem to be working. Specifically, album ratings, internet radio, users, playlists, monitored folders.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Which OS are you running Subsonic on?
I recently successfully restored my Subsonic installation after upgrading to Fedora 10, doing a complete format and reinstall of the machine.
I simply had to setup a "new" Subsonic, stop it, and copy the subsonic.properties file and db-folder to the right places and restart the subsonic. Worked like a charm
It worked even though the one i backed up was 3.5 tomcat War and the new one is 3.6 standalone

Vista using the standalone installer.

Like jigsaw mentioned, the way to do it is to stop Subsonic, then restore these files from backup:
c:\subsonic\subsonic.properties
c:\subsonic\db
Hope this helps,
Sindre

Thanks Sindre and Jigsaw. Didn't work for me, but I may not have backed up correctly.
I'll do some testing and see if I can transfer the subsonic properties to a different computer.

I have completed a full backup of /var/subsonic/ on my old system and I am attempting to restore to my new system.
If I only restore /var/subsonic/subsonic.properties and /var/subsonic/db/* I receive a 503 error on web login. The only way I can fix this error is to restore the entire /var/subsonic folder however when I do this I can log in and out until I make a change to the database and fix the media folder location path. As soon as I change this if I restart the server process I get the 503 error again. Frustrated.
As a troubleshooting method I have done many apt-get purge and reinstalls with restores trying many things. I always get this error. I am posting in this thread, despite its age, because its the only place where I can see an admin confirming the backup method (by the way this should be put in the F.A.Q's on the wiki).
I am using ubuntu 12.04 with the latest subsonic package from getdeb.net repo.
