I am trying to backup a drive to the backup drive.
I have a complete backup.
But I had to delete some directories off my main drive.
I want to back up new directories and files to the backup drive without deleting the files on the backup drive that I deleted off my main drive.
I thought I had it figured out. But I don't. Everything I have tried wants to delete the files off the backup drive I deleted from my main drive.
How to I set this up.

Change your sync type to "Update"

If you never want to delete files from your destination location that do not, or no longer exist on your source location use, as xCxXenon describes, use the Update sync variant.
If you only don't want to delete from your destination location those said files that you had to delete from from your source location, you can add the directories you had to delete those files from to your Exclude Filter.
