Backup (one-way sync)

Great feedback on 10/10/2016, Tony. Thank you. Any updates? If it’s another thread or announcements (hint, hint) then just point us in the right direction.

Is a “work around” to backup while waiting till the update comes to use the “Sync to odrive”? E.g., I use OneDrive and Google Drive for my personal and work files, respectively, and Amazon Drive for backup:

  1. If I stored OneDrive and Google Drive in separate folders (i.e., not odrive) on my computers
  2. Use “Sync to odrive” to tie those separate folders to odrive
  3. Set Sync settings read “store nothing”
  4. Set Unsync (?) settings remove files immediately so I don’t duplicate space
  5. Also set “Sync to odrive” to tie those separate folders to my backup on Amazon

Then I suppose I’d have a second copy, but not a backup, since odrive would delete files from the backup. I might be able to get around this by setting Delete to never, but that’d suck for sorting out which files to delete vs. keep/undo since odrive doesn’t show which cloud the deleted files belong to (nor should it).

Anyway…just contemplating “out loud.” I think I’d rather wait for the backup capability of odrive. That’s what we’re paying for, anyway, right?
