Using backup to move computers

In the next week or so my parts are turning up for me to finally build the htcp that I want. How do I use the backup that I get from drone to restore all the settings and shows etc when I install it on my new pc.

Easiest way would be to back up the whole folder and put it on the new server, but if you just want to keep the zip, put config.xml in the root of the NzbDrone folder and nzbdrone.sdf in NzbDrone.Web\App_Data

Thanks for that I think I will just go with the zip file.

One thing that isn’t saved with the zip file is the banners, I don’t recall if these are redownloaded when running a forced refresh, but you can back them up manually, their in NzbDrone.Web\MediaCover

Cheers for that , Thinking about it I might just do the full folder copy over that way I am not missing anything.

I tried backing up/copying the whole program folder and putting it back on after reimaging my PC. I lost every single TV series! Where did they go? Im certain I copied all contents of the nzbdrone directory. How do I get them back?

@MKA This is an old thread from version 1, in version 2 the Application Data is located in C:\ProgramData\zbDrone by default (the AppData path is shown on the System -> About page).

You will need to add your series to drone again if that folder was not backed up.
