Hi,
First of all - awesome program!
Is it possible to copy all files that would be deleted by FreeFileSync (one-way), either because they changed, got deleted or renamed to another path (so that there is like a backup of the files that would have gotten deleted) and it deleted the oldest ones if the drive is full?

I've made a small explanation in Paint, hopefully you understand what I mean :).

Thanks

When Syncing, you can set Deleted files to use, Versioning, & point the versioned files to be stored on Disk 2.

Where is that option? I didn't find it.

Edit: Found it under synchronisation settings! Thank you.

Not specifically what you describe, but where you define Versioning settings, you can also select to limit file versions in several ways, at least one of which may very well suit your needs.
See the right bottom part of the picture in the Manual section on Versioning. You can
select to keep versions for X days
select to keep a minimum number of versions
select to keep a maximum number of versions
These options can be used alone or in combination. See here.

Okay, thanks.
