SABnzbd Forums

I'm going to be doing a format in a little while. What do I backup to ensure that my settings and history aren't lost?

Settings and history are in:
Windows XP/2003 c:\documents and settings\user\local data\application data\sabnzbd
Windows Vista or 7 c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\sabnzbd
Unix $HOME/.sabnzbd
OSX /Users/user/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd

Thank you very much. Backup will commence in T -10 seconds and counting.

Will this also take care of all RSS Feeds?

So once you do a new install you overwrite the files with your backup i take it. Will your RSS Feeds be setup again?

Yes, the INI file contains all RSS definitions.
It might be good to copy admin\rss_data.sab as well, since this contains the items that
have already been processed.

Thanks

It was a success. All items were successfully backed up.

I tried to find files in: Unix $HOME/.sabnzbd, as I am running Synology, which has (IPKG) Linux under the hood. But there is not Unix $HOME/.sabnzbd directory (?) Might this be different because it is Synology?

Me too wants the large download que to be backed up, in case something goes wrong.

Thank you in advance for your answer, AND, of course, for the GREAT tool which I just now discovered (I must have been living under a rock for 10 years ). If all goes well, I will for sure donate to be able to pay all developers a nice beer

You may be looking under the wrong user's home directory. It'll be under the home directory of whatever user sabnzbd runs as. Alternatively, the synology package may have it set up to be in a completely separate directory, we don't build those packages ourselves, so they could have changed something.

Thank you for your reply

I looked under any $HOME directory, but I can not find it. Is there perhaps a find command to look for a very specific SABNZB file which would reveal where it is hidden in the Synology?

Thank you for your help :-)
