Copying files to external drive maintaing hierarchy

I'm trying to setup a rule where I want to copy files to a hard drive mounted through my router.

Two requirements here:
I want to maintain the same folder hierarchy in the external drive. Also, when I delete the files on my computer, I don't want to delete them from the external hard drive.

I have tried to use the sync rule but that deletes the file on the external drive when I delete them from my computer. To get around that, I tried to add a condition that only files added in the last day. So, if I were to delete a file off my computer 2 days after I added it, technically it should not delete it from the external hard drive. However, that hasn't worked for me.

I would appreciate any tips or suggestions. Thanks.

You can use the copy action. Search the help for "source folder" as that should do what you want.
