[Feature Request] Backup extension scripts

Post by toekneebullard » 27 Jan 2015, 14:42

The Backup function should include all extension scripts.

I just restored a backup after a harddrive failed on me, and I was really disappointed to see I have to set up all my scripts again, since that was the most difficult part of setting up NZBGet. It would be nice if the backup file included all the scripts that are in use in your config.

Why would you think the function "Backup Settings" would backup the scripts?
It backups all settings (including settings for scripts) but not the scripts, not download queue, not NZBGet itself.
It's purely for settings.

Installation of executables requires a great attention to security and has to be handled by user.

During restoring of settings you can choose the sections to restore. It will show only settings currently shown on settings page meaning you can't restore settings for scripts which are not installed at the moment.

But after you have the scripts installed (which is not a difficult part, just copy them into scripts directory), you can restore the settings for them. Since the restore is selective you can use it multiple times if needed.
