- Hi Stephen,
Thanks it's a Windows 7 64 bit system, can you help me with installation procedure doc for rsync server in Windows client and I think then I have to create share In it as well instead of Windows share folder.i hope rsync server is free...There is a freeware implementation of rsync for Windows called DeltaCopy. I haven't used it myself, but other users have reported success with it. You can find a copy here: http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp
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.
