Hello,
I've been busy setting up various sync jobs and have almost everything where I'd like it. I'm now setting up some of the jobs to run from the batch file, but want to make sure everything is safe before automating it. I do have a bit of an issue that I've run across, that I could use some expertise on. I have two different networks in which I run jobs on. Usually, if I'm on the wrong network and the NAS's are not on that network, I get an error, and then it will just ignore the sync between those devices. Where I have had an issue though, is when the source NAS is not found, but the destination is. In this case, it wants to delete all the files on the destination which were already there. I obviously don't want this, I just want it to ignore that part of the job if the source is not found on the network. I could set up that particular pair of that job to not delete, but it seems like there might be a better solution. Does anyone have any ideas?
Mirror 2 NAS, wants to delete dest. files if source not online

Thank you for the link. That is the same scenario I'm facing. To be clear from your post in that thread, you're saying that it will skip that folder pair and not delete the files as it appears it would?

That's correct! He's looking into a way to make that more obvious too. There is a core functionality in FFS that makes its current behavior necessary.

Great! I have been able to run the jobs pretty safely now. Thanks for the help.
