Sorry, this may seem like an elementary question but I couldn't find the answer here. It may be worth posting in the FAQ.
I use Reflector to do weekly incremental backups my PC. I'm not using separated backup files.
I occasionally move files on my PC's source drive to keep things organized. I wondered what happens to files on the destination drive if they were moved on the source drive after Reflector had already backed them up.
Does Reflector see that the files no longer exist in their old source location and delete them from that location on the destination drive or do I need to delete them on the destination drive myself?
I ran a text my moving a file and running the backup job. I found that Reflector backed up the file to the new location on the destination drive and left the one in the old location too. I kind of expected this but now I know it does this, at least with the settings I'm currently using.
My solution seems to be to delete the old destination backup and run a new full backup after I most a bunch of files. Is this correct and am I missing anything that can be done with Reflector that is easier?
Thank you in advance and than you Cobian for your software. Been loving and using them for many years now.
