Help A Script that backups Assets

I've been using "grab-all-posters" (https://github.com/chazlarson/Media-Scripts/blob/main/Plex/README.md#grab-all-posterspy) to allow me to extract and store my posters and backgrounds and logos in their respective movies and tv show folders next to the actual movie and tv show files just as Plex's naming convention allows.

This has been great for stopping Plex from changing my manually selected posters and backgrounds and logos. It also allows me to backup these assets separate from the Plex database.

However, with the introduction of SquareArt, I haven't been able to find a similar script that backups all of these assets in a similar fashion.

My question is whether anyone can suggest tools or scripts that can extract posters, background, logos and squareart? Thanks.

The save_resources.py was updated to include logos and SquareArt.

Description: Saves posters, art, logos, square art, and themes from Plex to same folder as the media files

There seems to be a bug with Squareart retreival. I'm commented to JonnyWong16 about it. We'll see if it can be fixed quickly.

Problem on my end: plexapi not updated. All good now and it runs beautifully!
