taking into account deleted files and folders in backups

Post by mikapi »

Hi,

Thank you for offering us this powerfull tool.
I haven't found this question on the forum ... maybe because there is too many responses with the "deleted files" keywords ;-)

May you say me if I am right:
Incremential and differential backups do not take care of the deleted files and folders, because they only take care of the new files and folders since th last full backup. The only way to take into account the deleted files, is the full backup.

Perhaps I'm missunderstanding the question, but Deleted files are not in the source anymore, so they can never be backed up.
