SABnzbd

Setting it up

On SABnzbd’s card, enter its URL - for example http://sabnzbd:8080 - and its API Key, from SABnzbd’s Config > General > Security (not the NZB Key, which can only add downloads). Click Test connection. SABnzbd’s guide to these settings: General.

Backuparr reads and writes SABnzbd’s settings over its API. If Backuparr reaches SABnzbd from outside SABnzbd’s local network, External internet access on the same page must allow the full API.

Backups and restores

• What’s in the backup: every setting SABnzbd’s API gives (get_config): folders, Usenet servers, categories, RSS feeds, sorters, schedules and notifications. SABnzbd hides every password in it as **********, so the Usenet servers’ passwords aren’t in the backup. The queue and history aren’t either.
• Restore writes the settings back over the API and asks for each Usenet server’s password; leave one blank to set it in SABnzbd later. Categories, RSS feeds and sorters aren’t restored - set them up again in SABnzbd - and SABnzbd’s API key and NZB key stay as they are.
