Howto transfer config setting and queue to new install?

Post by Shadowtester »

I have built a new computer to use as my file server which will be running Mandriva Linux. On my old computer which also uses Mndriva Linux I am running sabnzb+ I would like to e able to transfer all the config settings and queue to the new computer. The download directory is housed on a drive in a external multiple drive enclosure which I m going to transfer to the new server. So is it possible to transfer the setting and queue I thought it could be done by copping the install directory and the .sabnzb directory from the users home directory. I wanted to ask before trying to see if it was possible so I would not screw up the new install on the new server doing something that would not work.

Thank .

Yes, ~/.sabnzbd contains the settings and the queue, history, etc.

The "temporary download folder" should be moved too.

The temporary download folder is located on a drive in the external enclosure so that will be moved along with the other destination folders.

Thank you for the quick response!
