Syncovery Support Forum

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Any way to do this in Pascalscript? Thanks.

I'm trying to call a script from Pascalscript using this function.

function OnProfileStart:Boolean;
begin
Execute('/volume1/scripts/zabbix-db-backup.sh', 60);
Result:=true;
end;

This is on an Asustor NAS. Syncovery is running as root. The script has 755 permissions and runs fine when called ...

One thing I have observed. If the source directory is not empty then Syncovery seems to behave correctly and consistently. This odd behavour seems to happen when the source directory is empty.
