Sync not work correctly ?
Hello.
I use Sync (basic sync ... don´t know the english word) to backup some files.
Today i edit some folder names on my source side. In AOMEI i edit the list to this new folders and remove some folders that should be not backup anymore.
So i start the sync and i see on the destination side the folders are still available.
I have always set the "delete..." setting (sorry don´t know the english word)
Then i also set the second option "integrity..."
But the destination is not as i want ! Folders that i have removed from the backup list will still be there !
So i delete a folder on the destination side that i dont want and a folder that are a mix from 2 folders (new and old files because the last folder name are the same, but on differed upper folders (hm...anyone understand my text here?)
Sync again, but this will not work !
Why AOMEI not remove folders/files if i delete this from the backup list ?
Ok, it is better in some cases to delete it by myself, but why AOMEI not copy the folders again that i have removed ???
The "integrity" option is very very very (say again very) slow with a lot of files. I don´t want to use it (and it not help?)
AOMEI don´t recognize that folders are removed...so why this is called a "backup software" ?
I always have this problems if i edit folders and move folders.
I have the Pro Version (better to say this)
Can anyone tell me,what is the right way if i :
- edit the folder list in AOMEI for backup
- edit folder/file names on the source
- remove folders/files on the source
- move folders on the source
Many thanks !

Did you delete the source folders (such as, A and B folders)? AOMEI Backupper can't delete A and B folders from the destination when you delete the source folders from the source.
If you delete some files/folders under A folder, so it will also delete them from the A folder of the destination.
Maybe you can create a folder, then put all source folders to the folder, then select the folder as a source to create the sync task.
"The "integrity" option is very very very (say again very) slow with a lot of files. "---The feature will check and compare all synced files to check the integrity of every file. So, it will take a long time. You can don't check the option.
1. When you remove the A source folder, it will not delete it from the destination.
2. When you add the A to the source list again, it will only create the A folder(no files) under destination. Because our program have the record of the synced files. When sync starts, the program will compare files under A folder with the record, there is no changes on these files, it will not sync them. But, if you add new files or change files, it will sync the new or changed files to the destination.
If you use the "integrity" option, it will compare the files under the source and destination, if the file is different with the one in destination or the file is not in the destination, it will sync the file again.
3. When you change the A to A1, then add it to source list, A1 actually is a new folder, so it will sync A1 with all files.
