I'm posting this as a kind of placeholder ... I'm not yet sure if this is going to useful at all ...
I just discovered 'arkose': a sandbox / lightweight container on Ubuntu Linux.
After (installing and) starting arkose, you can run applications within that containers. Depending on the parameters that application does or does not see the underlying file system.
I was able to run SABnzbd within arkose. It feels like a safe way to test different SABnzbd versions.

Re: arkose ... sandbox on Ubuntu
SABnzbd is very happy to restrict itself to a single folder.
Just use -f /folder and everything SABnzbd does will be limited to /folder.

Re: arkose ... sandbox on Ubuntu
In Config -> Folder, I can still browse or point to other directories, right? With arkose, you can't, so that's a bit more "containered" IMHO
