SABnzbd Forums

To update everyone, this appears to be a false alarm. Of course, after experiencing the issue (backup server not being touched) for 6+ weeks and finally making a bug report in the forums, I successfully downloaded an nzb last night which was around 13 GB and noted that 2 MB came from my backup server. Hence, it appears that everything is working normally and it was just a coincidence that the backup server wasn't required for many weeks.
Thanks.

I wish I was that lucky.

To put a postscript on this thread, here are the stats for a recent download:

Not bad for a 900+ day file and only 645 KB from my backup server, which indeed IS being used when necessary.

I swear this isn't an ad for Astraweb.

Good to get confirmation all is working!
