disable deletion on master-device possible?

[piktor]

Hello,

I stumpled over syncthing when searching for an application to get certain directories on different devices synched. One of my needs would be a possibility, to prevent deletion of files on a dedicated backup node. If a file gets deleted on one of the devices, deletion should be synced between all devices, but not on that “backup”. A file should there be renamed e.g. with extension .deleted-yy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss or moved to a “deleted” subdirectory.

The idea is, that I wish to have protection against all possible delete-attacks (or accidental deletion on one device).

I searched through the documentation, but was not able to figure out, if this is possible.

Thanks for any useful hints

Have you tried using File Versioning (see https://docs.syncthing.net/users/versioning)? It sounds like what you’re looking for, especially since you want to the deleted files moved to a different folder.

Thanks,

that sounds usable, especially with “External File Versioning”, as I am able to plugin my own script.
