The only way to do what you want with CIFS is to delete the entire destination folder (which is a backup job option) and copy the entire share every time.

Hi stephen,

thanks for reply , actaully total data size is around 3 tb , we cannot delete on daily basis .
is this possible without CIFS ? local NAS to REMOTE HDD one way back up with delete enabled during sync ?

  Yes, the option to delete files on the destination that are no longer on the source is available if you use rsync.
  
  Note that leaving a comment in the exchange is not the same as voting for the idea.
