Force replica but don't allow deletes?

Hello,

As the subjects says, I'm trying to do a 'sync' where I force the  
server replica.
However, if the file exists locally, but not on the server, I don't  
want unison to delete the file.

Is there an option in unison so that it doesn't delete files?

The unison sync is part of a script, using Path statements (and the  
batch setting).
So I'm actually doing a sync stating sync THOSE specific paths, force  
server replica, but I don't want it to delete my files.

Is this possible?

thanks,

- Kenny

With Unison 2.40.16, you can add the following options to your profile:
   force = <remote_root>
   nodeletion = <local_root>
(where the roots are set appropriately).

Hi Kenny,

I recommend using -backups in order to keep such files. This maintains both proper synchronization and files that would have been deleted
