Full backup with versioning of old files</B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><FONT FACE="Tahoma, sans-serif">In
synchronization settings select &quot;Versioning&quot; for deletion
handling. FreeFileSync will move files that have been deleted or
overwritten with newer versions into the provided directory and
append a time-stamp. This is effectively a space-optimized way to
save all older versions of files separately while the recent ones are
available in main source and target directories.</FONT></P>

macros that are expanded during synchronization. This allows for
complete backups into different target directories.</FONT></P>
