syncing from multiple base folders to one common folder

[georg_m]

hi and thanks for your help


i want to backup this:

A:/fotos/ containing subfolders 1201, 1202, 1301, 1302
B:/fotos/ containing subfolders 1401, 1402, 1501, 1502

data on A: and B: never overlaps, but i am constantly moving folders from B: to A:
folder content in the subfolders will sometimes change no matter on which drive (including deletes)


as mirror (ideally with a single batch file) to:
C:/fotos/
so that it ends up as C:/fotos/1201, ...1502
and file changes will be mirrored no matter if folder XXXX resides on A:/fotos/ or i have moved it to B:/fotos/ since the last sync.


if the fact, that all folders are called "fotos" complicates things i could change that.


when i just set it up the initial backup went ok, but as soon as i started moving things on the left, ffs deleted folders, that it shouldn't.


thank you

Try using the Mirror variant in "Synchronization Settings" but disable the last action (represented as a Recycle Bin).
After that, the variant will became "Custom".

thanks Gianni, but that's of no help

i regularly also delete subfolders containing files on the left side. so i need these changes to be mirrored as well.
if i switch off the "delete if item exists only on the right", these files would stay and mess up my backup.
