Special Safety Warnings
Syncovery includes additional safety checks to avoid accidental deletion of files. It is important to be aware of these safety checks because they can prevent intended deletions from being carried out if you ignore them. The safety checks must be individually configured or turned off in each profile.
To turn the safety checks on for Unattended Mode, please see Profile Settings - Safety/Unattended Mode.
When a profile is executed and more files are going to be deleted than allowed by the new safety checks, then the user must confirm the deletions even in unattended mode. Without the confirmation, the profile will be executed without the deletions.
The safety checks have been designed to catch the following situations:
files have been accidentally deleted on one side of a synchronization
incomplete or empty FTP directories are received due to bad communication
Especially when incompletely received FTP directory listings could cause the profile to delete files, it is recommended to turn these safety checks on (but you can change the pecentages that trigger the warnings).
Again, to turn the safety checks on for Unattended Mode, please see Profile Settings - Safety/Unattended Mode.
When Running in Background With Preview, Warn If Deleting or Replacing Newer Files
This option was added in Syncovery 9 because the "run in background with preview" does not show any other warnings. A warning dialog will appears when files need to be deleted or newer files are to be replaced with older ones. This dialog will enable you to confirm the deletions and replacements, or run the profile without them.
