Usenet backup server question

Post by macmichael01 »

I have 2 Usenet providers (GN, AW). Both are currently set to enabled. Should I set one provider as a backup server? I guess I am trying to understand what is actually happening when I do that. Does this mean that all content will be pulled from my Primary usenet and only pull from the secondary if an article can't be found from the primary? I thought that when both are enabled (without the backup checkbox checked) that articles download from both usenet providers. Would this still be the case if backup is checked on one of the usenet providers?

SABnzbd will distribute requests over the two servers if they're both primary servers.
A backup server will only be used when needed.
