I have a backup that mirrors data from drives D and E to drive F.
D: -> F:\D
E: -> F:\E
This automatically starts (via Autorunner) when drive F is mounted and works fine when A and B are online.
However if D is online and E is offline, the Data F:\D is created as it should, but all content of F:\E is deleted.
So the logic seems to be:
If source cannot be found, everything in corresponding target is deleted
(as if source was empty)
What I would need is the following behaviour:
If source cannot be found nothing in corresponding target is changed
Is this possible via some setting?
Don't delete when source offline

That's already the current behavior. Also note: viewtopic.php?t=7114

Hi Zenju
It is not possible to select "do nothing, if item exists only on the right side", when "detect moved files" is enabled/ticked. That was the problem in my case.
So I have to decide between the two functionalities.
Thank you

...and of course it would be great if the two weren't mutually exclusive (if that's technically possible).
I move files AND have some sources offline sometimes.

I can select 'do nothing' for items only on right side with detection on. But, what you want is to use the 'update' sync method instead

Thank you, but here the moved-file-detection-option is greyed out as soon as i select anything else than "delete" for items that exist only on the right.
(And no, update is not what I want, because in case of conflict I would like to update the right element.)
