Optional Server vs Backup Server

Post by jeffwscott »

I'm trying to set my server priority in the [Config > Servers] page. I have a couple questions on how Sab handles the "Optional" and "Backup" check-boxes.

The priority I want would look like this:
1) Main Server (powerusenet)
2) Server #2 (Free Server)
3) Server #3 (Free Server)
4) BlockAccount-EU (Paid block)
5) BlockAccount-US (Paid block)

I have Server 1&2 setup as "Optional & Backup" and my BlockAccounts setup as just "Backup".

Is this going to achieve my goal of having SAB cycle through my Main and Free servers first before moving onto my BlockAccount?

How should I have this setup? My goal is to get as much from the Main and Free Servers before using up my Block.

Thoughts?
