Backup Server Option

Post by Jiinxt »

Ive been using sabnzbd for years, just updated it a few days ago and the new UI is beautiful. I however no longer see an option to set a server as a backup server. I see a "optional" but I thought that was just used for unreliable servers. The server I want to set to a backup is a block account that I only want used if my main server doesnt have the files it needs. Where was this moved to? Thanks!

From http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/introducing-0-8-0
Server priorities

SABnzbd 0.7.20 and older works with primary and backup servers.
The "primary" group and the "backup" group have internally no priorities.

SABnzbd 0.8.0+ uses server priorities instead.
This means that SABnzbd will first ask the highest priority server (0) and when that
server doesn't have an article, the next lower priority server (1) will be asked.
This continues until all (enabled) servers have been tried.
Servers within the same priority group will be used in a round-robin way (faster servers will be used more).
