Secure Backup and Share Desktop Client recognizes when you delete, move, or rename files on your computer, and updates the backup servers. Secure Backup and Share Desktop Client keeps an exact copy of your current selections on the backup servers, meaning that all changes (deleting, renaming, moving) to files on your system are mirrored. Only your current selections are counted against your use of storage space.

Versions of files are kept as far back as 30 days. For example, if you back up a file and then never change it, you may restore that initial version of the file, regardless of how long ago it was backed up, as long as your account is valid. If you change a file daily and back it up daily, the oldest version you can restore is from 30 days ago. If you change a file once every seven days and you back up daily, the four most recent versions are available for restore.

When you delete a file from your computer (or deselect it from backing up) and Secure Backup and Share Desktop Client subsequently backs up your computer, those files are marked for permanent deletion from the backup servers after 30 days. When a file is marked for deletion, it immediately no longer counts against your use of storage space. However, the most recent version of the file is kept for 30 days, after which the file is deleted permanently from the backup servers and is no longer retrievable.

When you rename a file on your computer, Secure Backup and Share Desktop Client treats it as deleting a file (with the old name) and creating a new file with the same content (with the new name). If you need to restore a file after you renamed it, you can restore the most recent versions under the new name, or within 30 days you can restore any versions under the old name.

When you move a file from one folder to another on your computer, Secure Backup and Share Desktop Client treats it the same as renaming a file.
