File Versioning

When you need to preserve files that have been deleted or overwritten it's -often sufficient to select "Recycle Bin" in synchronization +often sufficient to select Recycle Bin in synchronization settings. However this is only available on local drives and offers little control on how to store and how long to keep the files. -FreeFileSync therefore has an additional option, "Versioning".

1. Keep all versions of old files

In synchronization settings set both deletion handling and naming -convention to "Versioning". FreeFileSync will move -deleted files into the provided folder and add a time stamp to each -file name.
