SyncBackFree (freeware) • Feature request: "safe delete" in mirror type profiles

Hi!

I use Syncback for many years to "mirror" some local backups to an external FTP, but I must use another backup software to do those first backups because it has something I need, and Syncback can't do.

I always do mirror backups, so if source gets damaged I can recover an exact copy of it... but at the same time I need to be sure that if a file is accidentally deleted from source, mirror job doesn't just delete destination file, but "move" it to somewhere else. In other backup software this feature is called "safe erase": you just set a path, and mirror task moves source deleted files to that path (keeping relative path). I then just need to have a look to that path from time to time, and definitelly delete those correctly deleted files.

Do you think this is something feasible? I would do it inside "Decision - files" section, as a new option in the combo "what to do if a file is on Destination but not in Source"... and let the user set a path to move those "Source deleted" files.

bye!
