synchronization settings select and specify a "User-defined
directory" for deletion handling. FreeFileSync will place files
that have been deleted or overwritten with newer versions into
corresponding time-stamped sub directories. This provides a
space-optimized way to retain all older versions of files while the
most recent ones are available in main source and target directories.</FONT></P>
