Deleting a Task also deletes backup files even when option not selected

Hello,

I've just installed Cobian Reflector for the first time, created a "Task" for a full backup to start with (one time), and created a second task for daily incremental backups, and weekly full backups thereafter.

So when I went to delete the first Task for the first initial full backup, I did not check the box for deleting related backup files, however, it went ahead and deleted all the initial backup files that were made, but I wanted to keep them for a baseline.

Thank you for an amazing product, Luis ! I am fully grateful for all the years you have invested in creating this very, very valuable backup tool. It would be a Huge loss if it were to die, how can a solution be found for ensuring it lives on, please ?

What will you use for your back-ups going forward, Luis ?

Thank you so much !
Kind regards,
Elmarie

That's to be expected. You don't need 2 tasks for that. The program is smart enough to create a full backup first before the incremental take over.
