Syncovery Support Forum

I'm in the middle of deploying a new file server solution for my org, and we are planning on implementing Syncovery as a client side backup option for our users.

We want to use our MDM setup on both the Mac and Windows side to allow users to install Syncovery with a default configuration that uses their credentials. I've started looking at how Syncovery.cfg is formatted and while I can see some information via SQLite clients, it seems that there is more going on than just that under the hood. I cannot find things like the exclusion and inclusion lists via SQLite, but I know that information is included within the binary.

Is there documentation for editing the Syncovery config files programmatically instead of limping along using the GUI for hundreds of users?

Hello,
thanks for your enquiry!

Syncovery profiles can be created and modified via command line. For example:
You can see the command line to create any given job by editing it in the GUI and going to the Information settings category, via the "Show Profile Details" button.

I recommend using SyncoveryCL because it is the command line tool. On Mac, it's somewhere inside the application bundle.

The command line in general is documented here:

There are also additional examples on the Linux documentation page:

Excellent!

Thanks for the information. Sounds like just what I need.
