flappy Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 How do I block files from deletion on 1 side of the sync?Example:PC1 is Production & syncs its files to PC2 which is BackupPC1 is syncing to the backup server PC2 normally-I want to make sure PC2 files remain even if their counterparts are deleted on PC1-I'm aware of the Archive setting but I just want to disable it altogether to prevent accidental loss of backup.

luomat Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I don't think this is possible with Sync as it currently exists. If PC1 and 2 are Unix-based, you could do this with `rsync` (with any 'delete' args) but that's not really what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Maier Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 How do you intend to to solve conflicts? Like, you deleted "wonderful.jpg" and just a minute later you created a new one, called "wonderful.jpg". You also don't solve the problem of file corruption. Like, you created a "wonderful.jpg" image, and, accidentially, overwrites it with a blank image. The image is gone, no backup. So what you want is a backup, not a sync. Or in Windows you could additionally use something like File History. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flappy Posted October 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 There is never a case where I create files of the same name/location. If I were doing that I'd have the files in folders by date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
