Hi.
When it creates a mirror back up each week will it overwrite existing files?
I have 2 storage drives same size where i keep all my files like movies music and such, what i need to do is once a week i want to create a copy of drive 1 and put it on drive 2 any changes i have made to drive 1 will be reflected on drive 2
A lot of other software wants to make a new copy on drive 2 but this no good i just want drive 2 to be the same as drive 1

I have read through some posts and i have set up mirror for the whole drive and also checked the excluded or deleted box.
My second drive has been formatted so on the first run it will add all files but when it runs after that it should just update drive 2 with new files a delete files that have been deleted from drive 1, is this correct?

Yes, that is correct.
