Rsync removing files from destination
I'm running RAIDiator-x86 v4.2.27 on a Pro 6. My problem is that a backup with source as remote rsync server and destination a local share, files on the destination that don't exist on the source are being removed. I've setup other rsync backups where this did not happen. I am not doing a full backup and have fiddled with the other options to try and prevent this. I've seen others complain about the opposite and wish to have this "mirroring" feature, but in this case, I don't want it to happen. What am I missing??
TIA, John

- Is the option to "Remove deleted files on source." checked in the frontview backup job?
- Yes, it is checked. My issue is files being deleted on the destination. But I tried toggling off this option and it made no difference.
- I just tried unchecking "Remove deleted files on source" again and dropped a new file on the destination and re-ran the backup job. It was not removed. I must have missed it the first time. Thanks for your help.
- Yes, whoever labeled it "Remove deleted files on source" must not be a native speaker of English. What is means is "Remove on destination any files deleted on source". OS 6 uses much more obvious language.
