I am completely confused by the settings in the Sync Files task. What I want is basically robocopy / MIR - copy all files from the source that are new or changed, as well as delete all files that do not exist in the source, but make no changes to the source (no matter what).

Please give us some days to investigate if this is related to a specific setting that may or not exist or a bug.

It has not been implemented the way you want it but there is currently a ticket for developers to change the behavior and features.

I thought that the Sync was now supposed to do a true "mirror", but that does not appear to be the case. In my tests, Sync will propagate deletions, but only files that were previously synced, not files that were on the Destination beforehand. Meaning, I have 2 folders, Test1 and Test2, any files added or removed to Test1 are synced to Test2, including Deletions, but files added to Test2 are not removed, even if they do exist in Test1.

Is there no way to do this? I can do it with "robocopy /MIR", so I guess I'll have to go back to using that, but would be nice to be able to say, "make Test2 just like Test1".

So now Sync Files task can do a true "mirror" operation? Is that in 9.9.6?
