SABnzbd Forums

Hello Everyone,

Sabnzbd 0.6.10 crashed sometime on me last night. I logged onto the machine running it, and shutdown the running processes, I then re-launched sabnzbd, now upon startup it is displaying the setup wizard. I had quite a few things queued, that I would rather not loose, is there anyway to recover from this, and not have re-go through the wizard. I did try to search the forum for this, but I was not sure what to look for.

Thank You

If you have a backup of the INI file, restore it.
There should be an ini.bak file the folder where the ini file is.
After restoring/configuring SABnzbd, go to Status->QueueRepair and add all
orphaned items listed there to the queue.

Hello Shypike,

Thank You, That totally worked, I did however have to fully re-configure all sabnzbd's settings. just a thought, do you know if there is anyway to export the configuration of sabnzbd, similar to a router interface. So that in the event something like this happens again, I do not have to reconfigure, but instead just import the configuration file?

Thank You

It's just a text file, located here:

Thanks a lot for your help, all my issues are resolved.
