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.

Syncovery deliberately excludes @eaDir from the selection dialogs. These are Synology internal folders which you should not select.
What is your intention?

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 back up the Syncovery config I will happily do that.
Thank you.
