4000+ files need Recheck after power hit, anyway to bypass?

I have 3 NAS units on my network, connected to a UPS.  My computer took a power hit and crashed. When I brought it backup, everything was fine, but when I started qBittorrent 4.1.5 it has gone and marked 4000+ torrent files for recheck. Given this is over 140TB of files it is going to takes many months and I know that the files on the NAS units are fine. 

Is there anyway to bypass the recheck? 

HELP !!!!

Unless you have backups of qBitTorrent's settings, there's only 1 other way to somewhat avoid a recheck.
...And that's to manually re-add all the torrents with the option checked when re-add them to skip recheck.

I've had the same problem (having to recheck xxx's of torrents).
Do I only have to backup settings, or are there other files I need to backup and restore as well
(ie, torrents, etc.)?
Huge thanks for your help!
