I'm doing some "mirror" backups, and have "detect moved files" checked. At first testing, everything works as expected: if I move a file into a subfolder, then it says it will "move file on right". But if I come back to the job some days later, it doesn't work, it wants to delete and then copy again all the files I moved since the last time. After I do a sync, then testing again it works.
Using HFS+ drives on macOS 10.14.6. I know that GoodSync is able to do this consistently, so I think it can't be a limitation of macOS.
"Detect moved files" not working after some time

Something may be corrupting/removing the db file that FFS uses to store that information
