Deleting Folders during Duplication


Recommended Posts

Duplication is unidirectional, isn't it? If I have Duplicated folders A, B and C to an external drive, and then create folder D and delete folder C, shouldn't my target drive have folders A, B, C and D on it?

 

I just saw a prompt indicating one hundred folders being deleted at the beginning of today's Duplicate session.

 

Please explain.

 

Thank you.

It depends on which setting you use with the Duplicate.

 

Replace Entire Disk will result in a Destination volume containing A B & D; it will contain only the files that are on the Source.

 

Replace Corresponding Files will result in a Destination volume containing A B C & D; it will contain all the files that are on the Source, and any other files that were already on the Destination.

 

It's all in the User's Guide.
