Files known to be reset by Firmware updates - beware if you modify them
From SynologyWiki
(Redirected from Files to backup before modifying the Synology Box)
If you make changes to any of these files they will go back to system defaults when you do a firmware update.
These are some of the files I know for a fact will go back to system default, when you update the firmware.
| File | File Location | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| All files | cd /root | But not sub-directories other than .ssh. Hence make a sub-directory and put your files in there. |
| known_hosts | cd /root/.ssh | |
| .profile | cd /root | Consider modding /etc/profile instead |
| ipkg.conf | cd /opt/etc | |
| crontab | cd /etc | |
| rc.local | cd /etc | |
| httpd.conf | cd /usr/syno/apache/conf | |
| php.ini | cd /usr/syno/etc |
