HELP Backing up SABNZBD

Post by AJ123 »

Hi I wonder if somebody can help me please. I am trying to back up SABNZBD application which is installed as a package on my Synology DS918+. I have read a few articles which instruct to make a copy of the "config.ini" file which is located /usr/local/sabnzbd/var, however when i attempt to copy the file it says i unable to do so "permission denied".

I am trying the above by SSH into the synology using Putty. I am using my own account to login to this. Which is apart of the administrators group and SC-download which i have granted RW access to everything.

I have browsed to the location using WINSCP and can see the file owner is SC-SABNZBD and has read and write permissions. Does anyone have any ideas?

The easiest is to do a chmod -R +r /usr/local/sabnzbd/var
Now you can copy it to a location from where you can copy it.

Thanks for gettting back to me. I have now managed to update the permissions and copy the file to a backup destination.

Can you confirm this is the only file required which holds all my SAB settings?

Yep!
If you copy history1.db you also will preserver your history.
