--auto=all not working

[MikeyMan83]

Hi!

Separate apps work nicely. But i'm getting an error with all:

admin@NAS:/volume2/Scripts/Synology_app_mover-4.2.89$ sudo -s ./syno_app_mover.sh --auto=all
Synology_app_mover v4.2.89
DS1520+ DSM 7.2.2-72806-3

No apps to backup!

the conf:

# buffer is used when checking if target volume has enough space
# Add 50 GB buffer so we don't fill the target volume

buffer=50


# The backuppath is only used by Backup and Restore modes
# backuppath should be in the format of /volume/sharename/folder
# For example:
# backuppath="/volume1/backups"
#
# Note: The script will create a syno_app_mover folder in backuppath

backuppath="/volumeUSB1/usbshare/DockerBackup"


# Skip backup if previous backup was done less than x minutes ago
# Set to "0" to always backup
# skip_minutes is in minutes

skip_minutes=0


# exclude setting for use when auto="all" option is used to skip specified apps
# For example:
# exclude="ContainerManager"
# exclude="DownloadStation,ContainerManager,HyperBackup"
#
# Note: You need to use the app's system name
# Run syno_app_mover.sh with the --list option to see your app's system names

exclude=


# For Docker or Container Manager's container settings json exports
# Set delete_older to age in days before old exports are deleted
# Set ignored_containers to a list of containers to not export settings
# For example:
# delete_older=7
# ignored_containers="libraspeed-1,netdata"
#
# Note you need use the container's docker name. To see their names via SSH use:
# sudo docker ps -a --format "{{.Names}}"

delete_older=30
ignored_containers=

I'm getting the same issue. I'm looking into it now.

@007revad Any findings yet maybe?

In the process of migrating from ext4 to btrfs, would be very convenient if this would work :)

I can see where the cause of the problem is. But I was sure it used to work so I starting comparing each version to see when it was changed but that was taking too long. So I downloaded and tested every older version that had the --auto option (going back 12 months) and all 22 versions give the same error.

The --auto option definitely works when you specify which apps to backup (like --auto="DownloadStation,ContainerManager,HyperBackup").

I'm amazed that in 12 months you are the first person to try --auto=all

I suspect that after I added the --auto option someone asked if I could make it backup all apps, and I started working on that but never finished it. And somehow the --auto=all option ended up getting added to the readme before it was finished.

TLDR: Now I know all the above I can fix it so it works.

I only had to edit 2 lines to fix it.

Try the new version v4.2.90

You do realise the --auto=all will only work for backing up your apps? And not for moving them?
