RN626X. Removing files from a share and the next day they're back in that share.
I have a remote worker who pulls files from a folder in a share on our NAS. He works on them and returns the modified files back to us in a separate folder on the same share. However, he reported to ...
If the Backblaze backup is a bi-directional sync rather than just a backup, then that could certainly be what's resurrecting the deleted files. I'm not familiar with the Blackblaze interface to suggest how you can fix it, though.
He says he leaves the vpn connected for the entire time his PC is on. He's unaware whether his PC is set to make folder available offline. So unless it's default, I imagine that isn't active. Could our issue be related to the fact that we have a cloud backup to Backblaze through the Amazon S3 api?

It does sound like a bi-directional sync issue.
In general, you really don't want to use bi-directional sync for backup. If something corrupts the backup store somehow, then bi-directional sync immediates corrupts your primary storage.

It defaults to Bi-Directional. I changed it to "Upload local storage changes only" and that resolved the issue. Thank you very much.
