Exact Mirror setup questions

Postby ak_Brian on Tue Jun 13, 2017 5:51 pm

Hi all,

Had a couple quick questions about setting up an exact mirror: Is there any way to ensure that the only file deletion happens on the backup/right side? I don't see why it would go back and delete from the source/left side, but when I looked at the Safety>Unattended Mode settings there is the setting for how much can be deleted from either side and that threw me off.

So does exact mirror result in file deletions from the source?
If so, why?
and if so, any way to prevent it?

Thanks!

Hello,
if you specify only one copying direction, such as left to right, deletions will only occur on the destination side. No extra setting is needed to ensure that.

The text under Safety->Unattended Mode is generic, it applies to two-way syncs too. So that's why it mentions "either" side.
