Hi. I have 2 HDDs connected to Raspberry Pi 4b through USB ports. Disk 1 is mounted in /mnt/share, Disk 2 is mounted in /mnt/backup. Everything works just fine, disks mount automatically even after reboot and after cold start, but i have problem with dietpi-sync function. I want to have exact copy of share disk on backup disk so I set Delete Mode and Daily Sync to ON. I created for tests New Folder in /mnt/backup location and tried to run rsync and the tool didn’t delete this folder. I was trying multiple times and everytime effect was the same.

Then I ran this command in terminal:  
sudo rsync -hvrPt --delete /mnt/share/ /mnt/backup

and everything synced just fine  
Anyone knows what’s the matter

Thanks in advance
