Hello!
I created a new file on the target (right) side and used the MIRROR option expecting this new file to be deleted (since it did not exist on the source (left) side) after running FFS. However, upon completion the file remained on the target (right) side. Isn't this contrary to the purpose of the MIRROR option which states:
"Create a mirror backup of the left folder by adapting the right folder to match".

Thanks for all replies,
Dan

Assuming a left-to-right Mirror sync, FFS should delete any items existing
in the right location that do not exist in the left location
UNLESS
those items are not included via the include filter OR
those items are excluded via the exclude filter.

I must have been mistaken the other day; today, all is as expected.
Thanks for your reply.
