SyncToy - overwritten files?

[Guest]

Just curious about the Synctoy overwritten files that go to the Recycle Bin.
Under those settings if the PC syncs both ways and a file is overwritten from
PC A to PC B, the overwritten file goes to the recycle bin on PC B?
What if the user doean't have access to PC B, it's just a storage location,
how can you retireve that file.
Is there anyway to have the overwritten files go to the recycle bin on the
local PC (A), no matter where the file is overwritten.

Thanks

Sorry, there isn't a good way of doing this currently. We may consider a
feature for a future release where you can specify a file location to save
any overwritten files (in your case you can specify a network location that
points back to your interactive PC). No promises however

Hi Ashish,

Its the year 2013, so I have the same question.
I am trying to figure out if Overwritten files can be saved elsewhere. I am aware that the default is the Recycle Bin, but can I set the path to someplace else other than the Recycle Bin ?
