Hi. I am using Syncthing essentially to back up a computer to a Synology NAS. I now have it set as “send only” on the computer and “receive only” on the NAS. I am paranoid that something will happen on the NAS which will mess up the computer so I have this one-way setup. Very occasionally, I may want to make a change on the NAS (such as deleting a file) which I will want to propagate to the computer. In this case, would it be ok to change the computer setting to have it on “send and receive” at all times, and just temporarily toggle on the NAS from “receive only” to “send and receive”? Am I risking anything this way?
And related to that: let’s say I delete a file on the NAS when it is set to “receive only”. When I then change it to “send and receive” will it delete the file?
Many thanks in advance for some answers.
