Replace newer files in destination

Under normal backup operation, the main working copy will always have newer modification dates than the backup copy. If the backup copy has been modified more recently, this is an unusual situation and by default Synk will not replace the more recently modified file in the backup copy. Check this option to override this behavior.

Consider ownership change a modification

Normally, only the modification date of files are compared. Additionally, POSIX file ownership can be compared. If the source file has different ownership than the destination file, Synk will replace the destination file with the source file. This option slows down scanning slightly, and is not usually needed.

Consider permissions change a modification

As with ownership, POSIX file permissions can also be compared. A change in permissions will result in the destination file being replaced with the source file. This option slows down scanning slightly, and is not usually needed.
