Guys, so I have a question about Bittorrent sync. I realize that it's purely a sync tool but is there a way to make it backup data as well? Maybe there's an option that I'm missing that says "Don't delete, just backup"


It will put deleted files in a .SyncTrash folder, but previous versions of modified files with otherwise be lost in the absence of actual backups.

Edit: I stand corrected, BTSync apparently now has a previous version feature.


You can create a key/node with Read-Only permissions. Also when something gets deleted it goes to the .SyncTrash folder but keep in mind it doesn't take into account file corruption.
