SyncToy not copying files? Win2003R2 Server Std.



When I do a sync, all the files go where they are expected. I then delete a
few files in the target folder and sync again. No files are moved. I'm using
"echo", so missing files should be moved over to the target folder. I am
also running this as Administrator.

I've tried both SyncToy 1.4 and 2.0 beta with the same results.

Left folder (source): C:\MyData
Right folder (target): D:\Backups\MyData

SyncToy action: Echo - This should replicate any file changes found in
C:\MyData into D:\Backups\MyData. File changes in D:\Backups\MyData should
NOT propagate to C:\MyData

SyncToy options:
- Files to include="*"
- Check file contents is checked
- Active for Run All is checked
- All subfolders included

1) Do a sync and the C:\MyData and D:\Backups\MyData are the same
2) Delete a couple files from D:\Backups\MyData
3) Do another sync and the files deleted from D:\Backups\Mydata do not get
copied from C:\MyData


I'm hoping to automate some folder backups with SyncToy and the Task
Scheduler... If this isn't going to work (or could be done better), what
other solutions should I look at?
