Trying to understand the 2 directions of a backup-from A to B & B to A
I create a back up and then in due time the original files are either renamed or moved or deleted. Would I be correct in assuming that the backup copy could not know of these changes. In other words when it's time to do a 2nd back up, I believe at this point it would be called 'Incremental back up if one does not want to copy over the same files, then changed files would be copied over the original files would they not? thus giving you 2 copies of the file (the 1st one which you named abcd.doc and the 2nd one which you renamed, fgh.doc) And also if you deleted some files in your original then when you make a 2nd backup, the backup would not delete as well this file.
And vice versa as well (from your backup to your PC).
If this sounds confusing, I am assuming that outside of full backups, it is not possible for backup software to determine what files have changed name or place and can not tell either what you deleted and still want or don't want. [A reply to this will help me determine a new strategy of naming files renaming etc.] Thank you
