Feature Request - Alert when drive is removed from source

[kkitzul_SE]

Currently, when a hard drive is removed from a source server it still remains on the replica. It would be nice if the software would include some kind of warning or informational alert stating that the replica does not match the source.

Ideally it would be even better if we had the option to make the software remove the drive on the replica as well.

Removing the drive on the replica VM is not possible, since prior to the next job run the VM configuration will be reverted to the current snapshot (and removing it from all the restore points would mean losing the ability to restore that disk to any point within the specified retention). That said, displaying a warning message in the job session looks like a reasonable suggestion (unless it is already there). Thanks!

It would be the same steps as when the source VM has a disk increased in size.

All snapshots would be removed from the replica, the disk(s) would be deleted and a new snapshot would be created. You would lose all previous restore points, but that happens already when a disk size changes on the source VM.

In case of disk size change this is done as we would not be able to continue replication otherwise. In case of disk removal the job can continue fine, so keeping all restore points is preferable.
