Transfering Sabnzbd config to other os

Post by exchequer »

I am going to upgrade my XP install to Win 7.

Is it possible to save the configuration files of sabznbd so I dont have to re-configure the program (and programs ossiciated!).

I am looking for stuff like tempfolder, api keys, categories etc.

edit i found a folder in local settings with an .ini. Do I need anything else?

Thanks, great support!

Do you advise to run setup again and then copy the files. Or do you advise NOT to run a setup and just copy the program (I have it in .rar from backup).

Install using the normal installer and after that, overwrite with the backed up settings/data.

Great it worked. Already up and running on win7 x64, now lets hope AHCI really works:P

ps I guess history1.db was locked because that file was missing from my backup. But no problem its not an issue:).
