Hi,

I use the filter to exclude source files, but it still deleted them from the source!
Is there a way to not delete certain files from the source but only the rest?

You are using the very much maligned Mirror function? :cry:

Mirrors are NOT a backup.

I have not selected the Mirror task.

What I want to do is that I have several folders that I use cobian reflector to backup it and after a complete backup I want to delete the files. In these files I want to exclude 2 - 3 files and not delete them. Is this possible?
