Hey all,
Since I recently had to rebuild my NAS, I am wondering how I can recover my Download Station tasks. Prior to wiping the NAS, I checked if there were any functions in Download Station to export the current task list, etc. I could not find anywhere that mentioned this. Now that I’m back up, I would like to start my downloads again, except I’m not sure how to do that w/o starting completely over…
Can anyone assist?
Hello,
Before wiping your NAS, you may try the following command to backup your download task.
zip -0r /share/Public/ds.zip /etc/config/ds.conf /share/*/.torrent
And download ds.zip and keep it at your PC.
After reinitializing your NAS and installing Download Station, upload ds.zip to Public shared folder and run the following command to recover the tasks.
unzip -d / /share/Public/ds.zip
After it’s done, restart Download Station.
Thanks. Wish I had known this beforehand or have this built into DL Station. The way QNAP manages the databases and settings for its apps is exceptionally clunky. I lost all my Notes Station stuff as well as I forgot to export it (at least that app has an export option).
And I doubt I have any of this data in my snapshots as all the snapshots are from /share. Lack of bare metal is really a pain.
