Hello this is my first post, i am a new user whith this program. When using mirror syncronization and the source is not found, the destination is deleted. Is there a way to avoid this??, because i have multiple sources and they aren't allways available, and then i loose my backup. I supose that this is not a bug, but i don't know why it happens. The message i recieve is this:

"Cannot find the following folders:

C:\xxx\xxx\SOURCE

You can ignore this error to consider each folder as empty. The folders then will be created automatically during synchronization."

In the case of a missing source directory the target files will not be deleted. There's a fatal error shown right after you've started sync.

Ok yes that is true, but the problem comes when i set it in autobatch mode without prompt on errors because it is automated and i can't click if i get source or destination errors because i am not using the computer locally and i am not in front of it. Is there a way to solve this?? Many thanks, it is a great software but right now i cant use it because of this problem.

What is the problem in batch mode? It's still a fatal error and the corresponding folder pairs will be skipped.
