SABnzbd Forums

Hi guys

I need to move my existing installation to another computer. I have over 600 Gb queued so I don't want to stuff this up.

Is it as simple as moving these folders and files?
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\admin
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\cache (contains over 11000 files so I'm guessing this is pretty important)
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\logs
%userprofile%\My Documents\downloads\complete

Should I pause all the queued stuff and let the current job complete and then move everything over?

Obviously on the new box I would need to check the new folders etc but essentially is it this simple?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to move your queue completely, this is what you need to move.
Make sure all paths remain the same.
"complete" isn't relevant, because that's where the end result is stored.
"incomplete" is what you need to copy.

BTW: once your queue is empty: stop SABnzbd and clean the cache folder.
I think it's full of leaked temp files.

Thanks for the reply. In my incomplete folder there are only files there when a download starts so where would all the queued nzb imports be sitting? I mean the program must store them somewhere surely? I have about 114 movies in the queue waiting to download and I don't want to lose this but I can't wait until it finishes.

Thanks again.

The folders in "incomplete" correspond to started, but unfinished NZBs and they contain downloaded files.
The admin for all NZBs is kept in the "cache" folder.

Thanks man.
