Instead one has to resort to using SSH and rsync or other workarounds like mounting the My Cloud to the Synology and using Synology’s File Station to perform a NAS to NAS copy that doesn’t involve going through a computer. The units could have been so much better if WD had included one like Synology has done for many years. Synology Cloud Station Server is not supported on DSM 7.0. After issuing nohup one can close the SSH window and rsync process continues to run on the My Cloud.Įdit to add: The lack of an on WD My Cloud device GUI file manager app is one major fault/failings (among many) with the My Cloud OS/device. Last updated: Please note that Synology has discontinued support for Synology Cloud Station Server, Cloud Station ShareSync, Cloud Station Drive, and Cloud Station Backup running on the DSM platform as of April 30, 2021. If one wants to use rsync they can handle the issue, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, by using the nohup command in front of rsync command.

If one is copying files from the My Cloud to the Synology then the copy process should proceed until completion even if one closes their PC (or closes their browser). Copying these files is enough to get your savedata for steamVR home.Īnd there are more programs which save their savedata next to their program files which would be bad practice but sadly is something that is done.When issuing the copy or move using Synology’s File Station the copy process is generally handled by the Synology not the PC (at least it’s worked that way for me the few times in the past). You could do that for any other steam game but not for SteamVR.

Even changing the install directory is not allowed for SteamVR. SteamVR home does not use cloud backup for your home saves and changing the save directory is not possible. This folder contains the savegame for the SteamVR home. I actually am copying the folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\tools\steamvr_environments\game\steamtours\SAVE" Not all data in program files are always ephemeric data. But there are cases where copying files in the program files directory is enough.

Indeed windows registry keys won't get copied so if you need those this solution would not be enough.

use cloud sync to sync it back on your NAS to the location of Synology Photos. This is an answer I saw in multiple places when this question is asked. Fixed an issue where third-party video players might not be able to play. But you could call it anything slightly different like "ProgramFiles(x86) Hardlink". You will still not be allowed to create a folder in synology drive client that are called any of the restricted folder names like for example "Program Files (x86)".

The following figure illustrates the shared folder view and snapshot view if the.

A valid name would be "ProgramFiles(x86) Hardlink"(because the spaces are removed). Data loss is a real danger, no matter what storage device you use. So an invalid name would be "Program Files (x86) Hardlink". Naming the link to "Program Files (x86)" should not contain "Program Files (x86)" otherwise synology drive client will not show the linked folder. You have to make sure that the new name of the linked folder does not contain the original name for example: Mklink /J "C:\Program_Data Hardlink" "C:\ProgramData"Īs you can see i have added a _ between program and data. You could replace "C:\Program Files (x86)" with anything else like for example "C:\ProgramData" then it should look like this: This folder just links to C:\Program Files (x86) so it does not take up any extra space. Now use "C:\ProgramFiles(x86) Hardlink" in synology drive client. Junction created for C:\ProgramFiles(x86) Hardlink > C:\Program Files (x86) You are ready to start sharing files using QuickConnect. Note: When configuring advanced QuickConnect settings, we recommend that you log in to DSM using the local IP address or domain name of your Synology NAS. Mklink /J "C:\ProgramFiles(x86) Hardlink" "C:\Program Files (x86)" Click on Advanced and make sure the box of File Sharing is checked. Run CMD (command prompt) as Administrator (Use windows search to find it)
#SYNOLOGY CLOUD STATION BACKUP DOES NOT SEE SHARED FOLDER HOW TO#
How to access "Program Files (x86)" or any other restricted system directories in synology drive client: But have found a good solution myself, which does not require duplicating data or forces you to use other programs. I have found multiple posts on the internet of people with the same problem without a good solution. I wanted to sync files from my Program Files folder however it does not show up in synology drive client.
