Can FFS copy only files that are not on the destination?

What I want to do is to set up a one way copy/backup job that works like this:

- If a file is on the source but not on the destination, copy the file to the destination

- If a file is on the source and is already on the destination, do NOT copy the file, even if the file on the source is newer or different than the version on the destination

In other words, once a given file is on the destination, I never want it either deleted or overwritten.

Can FFS do this?

In the Sync settings
set it to Custom, & only enable the
'Item exists on the left side only'
& set its' action to be
'Copy new item to the right'.

(I think that will do it.)
