Bug Description

It would be nice to have a "sync only" - mode so that I can create a profile that will just sync a folder structure onto my mounted server, and another profile for incremental backups onto my backup drive.

You can do this by activating 'If free space is less than:' and set a value higher than your overall space in Auto-remove. In this way BIT will remove all snapshots except the last one everytime you create a new snapshot.

Would that mean that everything is copied anew at every backup? Or is it a real sync where only changed files are synced?

Nope. BIT will create a new incremental snapshot from the last one and delete that after everything is done. So only new or changed files are transfered.
