Recovering lost SABNZBD profile?

Post by NZBeaner »

Been running SABNZB since December. Had a PC glitch, and seem to have lost the profile & settings. How can I recover this? What file would it be? I especially want to recover the list of all the downloads I've done with the program.

TIA

History is in history1.db (sqlite file) in Administrative directory admin_dir, which location is like this:

Operating System Path
Vista/Win7/Win10 %userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\admin
XP/2003 %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\sabnzbd\admin
Posix ~/.sabnzbd/admin
macOS ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/admin

Thanks for the reply. When I open the program, I get the initial setup page SABnzbd Quick-Start Wizard. I've only had to set this up once so not too familiar yet, what's the best way to get it up and running again, especially to include the history going back to when 1st installed?

I should add I do have history1.db which when viewed in Notepad does seem to contain the downloads going back to initial installation, though of course I can't tell if the file is functional just looking at the text content.
