Two questions about backup servers

Post by AutomaticCoding »

Hi, sorry, you must get this a lot, but, considering I'm about to place down $60 or so on two backup servers, I'd prefer to know how it actually handles them before it goes down the drain instantly.

1. If my primary server doesn't have an article, but, DOES have the par2 files to correct it, will SABnzbd still contact the backup server? Or, will it try to 100% the file with the primary server, even if a few articles are missing, once it fails (Par2), go back over it with the backup server and check for any missing parts?

2. Is there anyway to prioritize backup servers? Like, "Use server A first, if it doesn't work, use B, if that doesn't work, finally, use C?"

Thanks.

1. No, a short coming in the NZB format prevents this from being implemented reliably.
2. No, planned for a future version.
