I’m using DietPi Sync to backup my main media drive, but if something were to happen and I accidentally deleted files from my Source location, is there a quick and easy way to restore the Source drive with the Target location without having to manually switch them around? If not, can a Restore From Target option be implemented to a future DietPi Sync update?

Reasonable feature request. I will forward this to GitHub 🙂: [https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2051](https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2051)

Any progress on a restore option for dietpi-sync or an upgraded dietpi-backup?

We were distracted by some other issues 🙄. There is another idea to merge DietPi-Sync and DietPi-Backup into a single script with multiple source/target support and restore options for all.
