The old sabnzbd.ini corruption issue

Post by daneyuleb »

Just had power go out on my PC, and once again, both the sabnzbd.ini and the bak file are corrupt.

I can understand the ini file getting trashed I guess, but the bak methodology seems like it could use some sanity check or something before it's created. So far, every time I've lost the ini file, the bak file has been corrupted as well. So the ini backup method, for me at least, has proven completely useless. Does it ever work?

When I test it, it works.
I don't test by pulling the plug on my PC.
I'll review the method again.
