How to sync NAS and USB drive
I've got a collection of photos on my PC. I sync it with a catalog (a share) on NAS using DeltaCopy everyday evening. I want to make a backup of the NAS catalog on the USB drive once a week but I don'...
Actually, they don't. They can make a full backup first time, then I can only force them to delete files on a backup destaination before making a full backup again. This way I'll have a mirror of the NAS share, but every time hundreds of GBs has to be copied from NAS to usb drive. I want to avoid this time-consuming operation and copy only new files (can be done) AND remove deleted files on source - and I can't see any way of doing that.
There's a relevant option on the Advanced tab in a backup job settings but it's grey out. No matter if I choose share: USB_HDD_1 or usb:External Storage (USB Front) as a destination, the 'Remove deleted files on source' in inactive.
Seems the only way to keep the NAS and a backup on an usb drive in sync is to make a full backup job.
