Mirror Job isn't mirroring
Ive selected the option to mirror my drive, and even selected the option "Remove excluded or deleted files from backup" and it... doesn't. If I delete a file on my drive, it stays there in the backup. Just with a little red minus symbol next to it in the window on the right side of the screen inside the program. Same if I try to move a folder. The folder gets put into the backup where I moved it, but the old folder isn't deleted.

Hi,
Please send us to info[at]fbackup[dot]com:
- the last backup log
- the .bkc catalog file
- the name and path of such a file/folder which was not deleted from destination.

Re: Mirror Job isn't mirroring
I have the same problem with fbackup not deleting removed or excluded files, using the latest version 8.4.251.
The same problem has been recurring for years, I think if I delete & recreate the Backup job it may work for a while but eventually it'll break again.
PS I just used wetransfer.com to send you the fkc, backup log and some screenshots.

@ianto39
I just replied to your email.
We need to investigate each case, as this isn't a known issue in FBackup.

Hi all 
I have the same problem : deleted files in the source stay in the backup, with a big red minus sign in the structure panel. Should I send something too ? Or is there a workaround to try ?

Hi,
Is there any warning in the backup log?
If you manually create a test folder in sources, run the backup and then you delete it, is the folder correctly deleted from destination?

Re: Mirror Job isn't mirroring
First, I apologize for my late response, especially in the face of your swift reaction, for which I thank you very much
manual creation of new folder in source
run backup
new folder is in destination
delete new folder in source
run backup
new folder still in destination
0 errors, 0 warnings
In the "profile" of the job, I checked "quick mirror" and "delete removed files" (I use a French version, so I'm not exactly sure of the English wording of the options)
