Keep automatic backups of deleted files by other nodes Syncthing supports archiving the old version of a file when it is deleted or replaced with a newer version from the cluster. This is called “file versioning” and uses one of the available versioning strategies described below. File versioning is configured per folder, on a per-device basis, and defaults to “no file versioning”, i.e. no old copies of files are kept. NOTE: The applicable configuration options for each versioning strategy are described below. For most of them it’s possible to specify where the versions are stored, with the default being the .stversions folder inside the shared folder path. If you set a custom version path, please ensure that it’s on the same partition or filesystem as the regular folder path, as moving files there may otherwise fail.
