(And worse: in my experience this doesn't even seem to work properly. That gets rids of them forever, so now you have no protection at all against accidentally deleted files. ![]() Your only alternative is to let iDrive occasionally go through and "clean" the moved/deleted files from your backup set. If you ever need to fully restore your file system, you'll get back every file you ever had and moved or deleted, and you'll be stuck rooting through your file system to get rid of all those files again (and do you really remember every file you've moved around or deleted in the past three years?). By default, your backup is the union of every file you've ever had on your machine in every place you've ever had it. ![]() The way that iDrive handles deleted (or relocated) files is utterly horrible. I'm a little surprised that you think at all highly of iDrive and don't note what I consider to be the single most atrocious feature of it, and a total dealbreaker. I was seriously considering iDrive, but then came across this from a month ago via the comments section in Just make sure to tag the post with the flair and give a little background info/context.
