Clearing NZB Backup folder path...

Post by intamin »

I entered a folder path and now would no longer like to backup my nzb's.

It seems as though SABnzbd thinks differently as it won't let me clear that field. It gives me some error saying that the backup path can't be blank. Is there some check box I'm overlooking or something that's keeping me from discontinuing the nzb backups?

Thanks!

Which release are you using?

Work-around: edit the sabnzbd.ini file directly.
Look for the nzb_backup_dir field.

The latest, believe it or not! 0.5.0

I found a bit of a workaround by typing in anything old character...I think the directory is currently "="

Haha...seems to have worked, but who knows what kind of side effects that might have. Better to do it your way, so thanks for the tip.

EDIT: I can't seem to find that file...where exactly should I be looking for it? Thanks.

It's in one of the locations in the link I gave you,
depending on the OS.
Unless you start SABnzbd with the -f parameter,
in which case you should know.

BTW: the bug is confirmed: will be fixed in 0.5.1

Ah, good to know it's not just me!

As for the link you gave me, it wasn't on that exact page, but I found the correct page here (via the navigation link on the left):

Thanks for all your help, though. :)
