SABnzbd Forums

Hi guys,
I looked and searched the forum but didn't find any comments on this.
Is there a way to save a queue?
Sometimes, when a given nzb gives me trouble, I like to kill the queue and start off with a fresh new queue only with the given faulty nzb.
Saving the queue would be an asset in these cases.
Regards.
And Merry Xmas everyone.

The "queue" is anything in "admin" "cache" and "incomplete".
It's best to have a separate tree for such occasions.

I always have everthing relative to the location of the INI file,
with the exception of the final folders.
That way I can switch quickly between sessions.

I see.
So, actually, there ain't a button to save the queue.
Thanks and Merry Xmas.

Based on Shypike's answer, I went looking for a way to save just the queue.
This way I could erase everything in SAB's folders when I am testing beta versions.
Eventually I found a way.
It worked for me and it might work for somebody else.

So here's what you need to do for backup:
1-shutdown SABnzbd
2-open the cache folder
3-open queue9.sab file in a text editor
4-take note of each filename in queue9.sab such as SABnzbd_nzo_06sbkf and SABnzbd_nzo_8swhs0
(apparently there shall be as many files inside queue9.sab as the number of items in your queue)
5-copy queue9.sab and all files that you took note in previous step to a safe location

Et voilá, your queue has been saved so that, for instance, you can take it to another computer.

Now to put the queue back in place (maybe in a different computer):
1-shutdown SABnzbd (on the destination PC)
2-completely erase it's cache folder
3-upgrade SAB and start it so that it creates the cache folder again
4-shutdown SABnzbd once again
5-open the cache folder once again
6-copy your previously saved queue9.sab and all the other files that you backed up
7-start SABnzbd for the last time and enjoy your queue

Hope it works for you as it worked for me.
Regards
