Protecting Your SABnzbd Setup
When working with SABnzbd and Eweka, it's helpful to save your configuration so that you don’t have to re-enter everything after a system update or device change.
Step 1: Find the SABnzbd Data Folder
Check your operating system for the SABnzbd configuration location:
-
Windows:
C:\Users\[Name]\AppData\Local\sabnzbd -
macOS:
/Users/[Name]/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd -
Linux:
~/.sabnzbd
Step 2: Exit SABnzbd
Make sure SABnzbd is closed before proceeding to avoid saving partial data.
Step 3: Copy the Folder
Back up the complete SABnzbd data directory. This will retain:
-
Your Eweka server information
-
Queue status
-
Indexer and category rules
-
Settings tied to your preferred Usenet access flow
Step 4: Restore on a New System
-
Install SABnzbd as usual
-
Launch it once and then close it
-
Paste your saved folder over the newly created config directory
-
Relaunch SABnzbd and confirm your settings have loaded
