Small question about backup files #98

Closed ChanLicher closed 4 months ago

ChanLicher commented 4 months ago

If I didn't setup the backup path correctly, where will the backup files go? I set a wrong path that dosen't exist, but the backup process worked fine, and I cannot find those files now.

When you ran the script did you select Move or Backup?

What backup path did you set?

I choose "move", but what I want to move is Container Manager, and there is a step "Do you want ot backup the @docker...". I typed "y", and it took a long time to backup but proceeded very well.

The backup path I set is "/volume1/temp/Synology_app_mover-3.0.59/backups", but this path missed one part. The full correct path should be "/volume1/SuuuperNAS/temp/Synology_app_mover-3.0.59/backups".

By the way, I tried "find -type d" and tried to delete "@docker" and "@docker_backup" on volume1. So, now I wonder where are those backups? Because it seems that those backups still take up like 200+ GB space.

The backup path is only used when you select Backup or Restore. It's not used when you select Move.

/volume1/@docker should be almost empty. /volume1/@docker_backup is the backup. You can check their size with:

du -sh /volume1/@docker

and

du -sh /volume1/@docker_backup

Assuming you moved Container Manager to volume2 or volume3 etc you can delete /volume1/@docker_backup and /volume1/@docker with:

rm -rf /volume1/@docker_backup
rm -rf /volume1/@docker

OK, I see. Thank you! I tried these two "rm" command, maybe it is not docker that takes up my space.
