Basic sync vs mirror sync
It is not clear to me what is the difference between "basic" sync and "mirror" sync of Backupper. Since both are one-way syncs and update the destination files to be the same as the source files, what is the essential difference?
I can understand how real-time sync and how 2-way sync are different features (as their very names suggest), but I don't see how Mirror and Basic differ exactly.
Many thanks!

For Mirror sync, it will also copy the source folder to the destination, but:
Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I had to read it over a few times to determine what was then different between "mirror" and "2-way" but I can see that in Mirror, the source file will always prevail and will NEVER be changed/overwritten by a file from the target, whereas I assume 2-way in fact makes changes in either direction. So if I understand, the Basic is really a cumulative or incremental sync, whereas Mirror is a tru 1-way sync.
Many thanks for this!
The one-way sync (both basic and mirror sync are one-way sync way) will detect the change of the source, then sync to destination.
As for the comparison of the sync way, please refer to here: https://www.ubackup.com/help/differences-between-syncs.html
a) a "mirror sync"
b) a "basic sync" with the option "Sync the deletions in source directory to destination"
Thanks
