item(s) removed from computer

If I delete a folder or a file from my computer will it also be deleted from the backup copy the next time I backup?

It depends on what system you're using for back-up. With Time Machine no, it will not be removed next time you back up, but eventually, it will be. When? Depends on how much space you allocate to your Time <achine aback up. Eventually as the space is sued up the app deletes oldest back ups to make room for newer ones.


Other apps are archival and will never delete from a back up.
