Backup without overwriting file

Linkstation Pro XH1.0TL - firmware 1.10 (both source & target drives)

 

Is there any option to backup without overwriting changed files? In other words, it keeps the old version of the file, and adds the new version to the backup.

 

I know you can do a "Normal Backup", but I'm backing up folders with 100s of gigabytes, and don't want to backup the whole folder everytime, just the new/changed files without overwriting.

 

On the PC software I'm used to, an "incremental" or "differential" backup only backs up changed files but does not overwrite old versions.

Overwrite Backup (Append):

Saves as "_backups\sourcename\data". Does a complete backup thefirst time, subsequent backups only send the changes. If a file is onthe destination that is not on the source, it will not be deleted.

 

Overwrite Backup (Differential):

Saves as "_backups\sourcename\data". Does a complete backup thefirst time, subsequent backups only send the changes. If a file is onthe destination that is not on the source, it will be deleted.

   Thanks, but neither of those work.
