Maybe I could have been clearer. I was trying to emphasise that
synchronisation means that although your data is in two locations, it
would be unwise to think that means you have a backup. As Tomasz pointed
out, Syncthing does have a Trash folder but I personally wouldn't use
that as an intentional backup. I have never had problems with data
corruption with Syncthing. I use Syncthing as described for my photos
and then also have a separate backup policy (copied to a remote server,
etc) for all my data should it get corrupted, accidentally deleted, or
subject to fire/flood locally.
