Change sabnzbd.ini location

Post by DingHo »

Hello,

I can't seem to figure out how to change the location of the System Folders.  I would like to change the location of sabnzbd.ini from C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\sabnzbd" to another drive that I have on a backup schedule.

1) How do I change it so sabnzbd.ini is saved in e:\documents\sabnzbd\ ?
2) Is there any other files/folders I should save should I want to restore all my settings/RSS if I should need to reinstall Windows or something?

Thanks for the help.  Sorry if this is in the wiki, but I looked and could not find it.

Read our fine Wiki:
http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/command-line-parameters
You are looking for the -f parameter.

Move sabnzbd.ini to any location you like, and then always start SABnzbd with the -f option.

And in http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/config/directories/ you can set all directories you want. Just remember to make it absolute paths
