You're worrying me talking about "either side" and "two-way mode" - but I think probably unnecessarily. I just want a copy, with no chance of anything changing the source side. But I think selecting mirror mode will do that. > >When synchronization is done, names, sizes, and timestamps are saved in >a hidden database file, so that the program can detect deletions, and >files that have changed on both sides between sessions.

(Certainly on the internal, as "Everything" works well, and IIRR it either doesn't work at all, or works very slowly, on FAT.) [] -- J. P. Gilliver.
