What does "Recreate anything missing" do for Delta Drive?
Short answer: It recreates whatever your drive is missing and reconnects this Mac, only ever adding — nothing existing is changed and no backup is deleted. Use it when Delta Drive can't be read.
It rebuilds anything your drive needs that has gone missing — its storage areas, their protection and your starting folders — and reconnects this Mac to them. It only ever adds what isn't there: nothing that exists is changed, and no backup is ever deleted.
Use it when Delta Drive can't be read, says your drive has moved, or a starting folder disappeared. Afterwards, press Refresh.
