I have recently deleted a few files off my nas but checking on the backup Hdd the deleted files are still there it successfully copys new items if I add one too the nas but isn't deleting files
I have the option enabled to delete files on target
Any help appreciated
rsync works between OS4.x NASes and an OS6 NAS here...I used to use deltacopy for personal backups back in the day but I recall it not behaving predictably in some ways when it came to file copying. The windows rsync scene is pretty rough. I'm not sure what to suggest other than a straight cygwin install of rsync.
I think that might be over my skill level with Cygwin
Maby a virtual machine running some Linux install would work better for rsync although I have no Linux experience
how about a replacement way to backup my files ?
from NAS to Windows PC with USB drives
backing up the files that have changed only, also deleting the files that have been removed from the nas
i need to do something as my backups aren't running and are over a week old so as it stands if my drives fail I'm going to lose at least 1 week of data I'm extremely worried
I'm running the latest firmware

I just tested from a ReadyNAS OS 6.7.4 to a Synology NAS, rsync with remove deleted files on target worked as expected.
