How to save your apps when destroying your main volume (OS6)

Normally, destroying your primary volume will remove all your apps. Well, I don't think it actually totally removes all traces of them, it does delete their folders in /apps, and it must do something...

I only tried this on a virtual machine, but it did not migrate the apps when I destroyed the main volume in OS 6.10.1.

 

I'll have to give it a shot on a real NAS when I have a chance, but I don't know why it would behave any differently.

Me either, but I did find that the NAS did migrate my apps automatically (quite a while ago).
