Synology DSM Backup - configuration file

I have 2 NAS DSM Synology 5.1 system and I want to make daily Network BackUp of first DSM to second one.

I am using Backup&Recovery tool from DSM GUI (aready have created shared folders, granted permission etc.) and when I go to the part where I can choose Shared folders I do not have option to select all shared folders (I can only pick one by one) and that is the problem - because if I create a new share folder, that new folder is not included in the next BackUP.

I have found configuration file (synobackup.conf) and in that file is:

backup_folders=["/folder1", "/folder2", "/folder3", "/folder4", "/folder5"]

So my question is: How can I include all shared folders (existing folders and new created) to scheduled BackUp.

Can I type any command in "backup_folders=["XXX"] to select all shared folders. I have tried with *, $ but it does not work.

Thank you!

The best way is to get a time backup or a total backup. Timebackups are more advanced then the default software, But therefor you have the option of restoring all the data. A total backup is in case our NAS dies and have to reïnstall the OS.
