But I also want it to delete files that I have deleted off the source drive. Not sure that differential is going to give me that. Maybe it's one of the complete/differential modes?? Wish the manual was of more help...

The modes they give are:

Normal Backup
Overwrite Backup (Complete/Differential)
Overwrite Backup (Complete/Differential) no clue why this is listed twice??
Overwrite Backup (Append Backup)
Overwrite Backup (Differential Backup)

I had the same question.

Awesome, thanks for the link. I had it set to plain old differential because after doing a few tests with a small number of files I found it would add/delete files as needed to mirror the primary drive. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't working overtime by recopying all the files on every backup. Thanks again!

But it's not the end of the world. Wanted to comment that these drives are pretty fast on my network. I transferred about 60gb in 2.5 hours. That's through a gigabit D-Link 825 router. I'm running 5ghz wireless N on my notebook and it is also wicked quick through that connection. All in all I am very pleased. But I can definitely see myself selling these for two of those 1TB units if/when they come back in stock.

Same here. I wanted the 1tb unit but it looks like it wont come back in stock. I'm pleased with the two Live units I got.
