Hi, Imagine these situations. All Situations are for Mirror Synchronization.
OS on Drive C, Source folder on Drive D, Backup Folder in Drive E.
Situation 1
Source folder in Drive D gets deleted accidentally. Does that automatically delete the Backup folder in Drive E?
Situation 2
Source folder Drive D dies for some reason. What does it mean for the backup folder in Drive E? Will the software try to read the source folder, fail to read it, then delete the backup folder?
------------------------------
I want to backup my Git Repository using this software. What would be the best way to do it? I want to keep it local so pushing to online repo is not an option.
What is source folder gets accidentally deleted?

1) Nothing is automatic unless you set it up to be automatic
2) If the source is unreachable or unreadable, FFS will throw an error and "stop"***
*** This is too generic of a hypothetical. "Source folder Drive D dies for some reason" is so vague when there are many reasons a folder "dies"
Honestly, these are edge cases that you absolutely need to account for, but you do so by having a robust backup system in place.
