Make sure you are using the
latest stable version of unison (currently 2.40.61) and look at the
nodeletion option. Add to your preference file something like:


nodeletion = /root/that/you/don't/want/deletions/on

As far as backups
go, you better read up on them in the manual and create some test cases
first as there are lots of options and you'll have to find the one that
best suits your needs. 

Good luck, 

Mike E.

Hi there... 

I'm new to unison and I
just subscribed to the list, so this is my first post. My name is
Ignacio and I'm trying to keep my large photo collection in sync with my
wife's computer. We both run Linux. I'm trying to do sync with some
conditions: 

1.- laptop1 (mine) syncs with laptop2 (hers) mounting
laptop2 drive in laptop1 with cifs 

2.- if laptop1 deletes a
file/folder it must be deleted later in laptop2 

3.- if laptop2 deletes
a file/folder that MUST NOT be deleted in laptop1 (in fact, it must be
added again in laptop2 at next sync) 

4.- if laptop2 adds a file/folder
that must be added to laptop1 

5.- I'd like to keep 1 backup in laptop1
if possible. 

Right now my prf file looks like this: 

root =
/home/ignasi/Imágenes/Fotos 

root = /mnt/cavanilles/Varios/Ignasi/Fotos


confirmbigdel = true 

fastcheck = yes 

ignorecase = yes 

backups =
yes 

backupdir = /home/ignasi/.backups 

maxbackups = 1 

however, I'm
not sure how to accomplish condition #3. Can anybody help me? And can
anybody tell me if my current profile is ok or could be improved? Should
I use ssh to connect to the remote side? I thought of it, but transfers
over ssh are usually slower than through a cifs mount. 

TIA 

Ignacio
