Greetings...

I created a backup and saved it. Then I ran the job manually by clicking the large Backup button. It backed up my folders and file just fine as expected to the destination. I went and deleted one of the files from the destination and re-ran the backup again. Backup did NOT recreate the file in the destination!
My backup job:

Type: Mirror (I tried with and without the "Create full path (including drive letter)".

Destination: External Hard Drive (Western Digital Extetrnal Drive (USB))

Hi,
FBackup won't look in destination to see which files are there. It compares the source files with the information stored in the backup catalog.

You should never manually delete the files from destination as they won't be backed up again automatically.
