Do Differential Backups Remember Deletions or Only Changes ?

Thread needs solution

Just wondering when you restore a differential backup does Acronis store a list of files deleted since the last full backup or only the files that have been added / modified? and will it properly remove the extra files during the restoration process ?

Whether a differential or an incremental, the state of the disk after the restore will be the state of the disk when the backup file was created. If you want to recover deleted files or earlier version of files, you'd have to restore an earlier backup.
