Mirror backup with the synchronization tool

Hello,

FreeFileSync has 3 predefined rules to make synchronisation easier:

http://www.freefilesync.org/manual.php? ... n-settings

1. Two Way:
Identify and propagate changes on both sides. Deletions, moves and conflicts are detected automatically using a database.

2. Mirror (backup):
Create a mirror backup of the left folder by adapting the right folder to match.

3. Update:
Copy new and updated files to the right folder.

"Two Way" and "Update" are already possible with the FC synchronization tool. Please could you add the possibility to do a "mirror backup" too?

And why not adding such predefined rules to make synchronisation easier?

FastCopy provides also similar predefined rules (operation mode) for copy and synchronisation:
