Re: Safety checkboxes always recheck themselves
Thank you. It might be less confusing then to perhaps grey them out on Linux or something. Or just add a note on the page to say that. Anyway, all good.

Safety checkboxes always recheck themselves
Hello, I've noticed that the checkboxes shown in the screenshot never seem to stay unchecked. If I uncheck them and save, when I go back into the profile they are checked again. Is this supposed to happen? Thanks.

How to clean up old backup files
Hello, there is a bewildering number of options for Syncovery. I'm looking for a way to delete the backup file and all versions on the target side once the source file has been gone for 60 days. Which options do I need to choose to make this happen? Thank you.

Re: Directories beginning with @
I was looking to back up Syncovery.cfg so in the event of losing it I would not lose all of the jobs I have created.
I am able to do this by having a second job that has /volume1/@appdata as the left hand side, but the main job that has /volume1 cannot see @appdata.
If there is a better way to ...

Directories beginning with @
Not sure this is Synology-specific, but Synology seems to be one thing that likes to name directories with @ at the start of the name. This means Syncovery doesn't seem to see them. In Main Settings -> Choose Subfolders they don't appear. Is there anything I can do to make them appear? Thanks.

Asustor upgrade wipes authorized_cmdlines_syncovery
Hello, for the second time I have had /volume1/.@plugins/AppCentral/Syncovery/DATA/bin/authorized_cmdlines_syncovery wiped by an upgrade of Syncovery on Asustor. This time I saved it first and put it back afterwards. Could this file please be preserved across upgrades? Failing that, an option to ...

Feature request for an option to always run external scripts
I upgraded to the latest Syncovery and discovered that the upgrade process seems to lose the file in which all authorised external commands have to be defined.As a result my backups didn't work properly. So I hunted down everything that gets called over both of my Syncovery instances and added them ...

Re: Detect a scheduled run vs manually started
The OnCanRunProfile hook looked useful. I thought about doing my actions in there since it seems to be called when the scheduler is about to run a profile, but it seems to only be available on the Windows version of Syncovery.

Re: Detect a scheduled run vs manually started
No replies so I guess it can't be done. I worked around it by checking the time before invoking a script. This is basically so I can test the backup job by hand without it performing a bunch of time consuming actions every time I do it.
