HI,
I have a problem with Cobian 11 when the destination is an FTP Server
( is the first time I use as destination a server FTP)
in the source folder I have 2 subfolder
ex.
FOLDER
- SUBFOLDER001
- SUBFOLDER002
when I run the backup the first time the FOLDER in FTP server is correctly saved
the second day the source folder will have other sobfolders
ex.
FOLDER
- SUBFOLDER002
- SUBFOLDER003
when the backup run, the destination folder appear as
FOLDER
- SUBFOLDER001
- SUBFOLDER002
- SUBFOLDER003
the third day the source folder will have other sobfolders
ex.
FOLDER
- SUBFOLDER003
- SUBFOLDER004
and the destination folder is
FOLDER
- SUBFOLDER001
- SUBFOLDER002
- SUBFOLDER003
- SUBFOLDER004
and so for the following days
why the old subfolder [ex. SUBFOLDER001 SUBFOLDESR002] are always present and not deleted ?
many thanks for your help
Giovanni
NOT deleted FOLDER on FTP server destination
Re: NOT deleted FOLDER on FTP server destination
Mirrors are not implemented on FTP destinations.

If you want to have some kind of mirror, I think you should configure one Cobian Backup task as follows :
If I am not wrong, everytime the backup task is run, Cobian Backup will create a new backup with the date of the day and after it finishes, it will erase the previous one.
This mimics the mirroring you are trying to get.
THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDED OPTION as files erased on the source will be erased forever on the backup too.

- General : set "create new separate backups" (the root folder name of the backup will be followed by the date)
- General : select "Full backup"
- Dynamics : set "full copies to keep" to 1
- in Cobian Backup Tools, Settings, Engine : unselect "Park the first backup"
