Enable Compression

Compresses data before transferring. This option is especially useful for slower network connections, such as when transferring data over a WAN.

Remove deleted files on source

If this check box is selected, the job is differential: New and modified files are copied to the destination. If a file was deleted from the source, the corresponding file on the destination will be deleted.

If this check box is cleared, the job is incremental: New and modified files are copied to the destination. If a file was deleted from the source, the corresponding file remains on the destination and is not deleted.

Enable FAT32 compatibility mode

If this check box is selected, Rsync does not copy file permissions, allowing you backup your data to FAT32 file system.

  • To add a new file or folder to the list, click the + button (Image).
  • To remove a file or folder from the list, select it and click the - button (Image).
