Source File/Folder Alterations

These options can be found in the Miscellaneous window.

Move Files - Delete source file after successful copy to target

This feature will delete the Source file after the file is copied to its corresponding Target folder.

Note:  This feature should not be used with the Delete Unmatched Target Files option on the File Options screen because conjunct use of the two options will greatly increase the chance of data loss.

Turn file archive attribute off after synchronization

This feature resets the archive flag on the Source and Target file after synchronization. The Windows file system automatically sets the archive bit for every file that has changed; normally, this is used to indicate that a given file has been modified since the last time its archive bit was set. Most tape back-up programs use this flag to determine which files have changed since the last backup. This option will alter Source files. PeerSync uses this feature to reduce the number of files that are checked on the Source drive.
