I just want to know where to find the cache/settings locations for Plex Media Server? I just want to save it in case I need to reformat my drive.

I'm not sure if it matters but I am using Ubuntu 14.xx. And I installed Plex by downloading the .deb package that's available on its site. The one of the repo is too old.

Thanks very much

On Ubuntu/Debian settings and library stored in /var/lib/plexmediaserver/....

The PlexMediaScanner (cli-commands) can be found under /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/

In general, the location for the various Linux versions of Plex Media Server will be found under:

$PLEX_HOME/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/

Just cd to this path and all settings should be there. Usually this path should be under your home directory. In Ubuntu you can check where the path is by running:

cat /etc/default/plexmediaserver | grep  PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR
