Do Not Decode Left/Right-Hand Filenames When Building The File List
Filenames where the program has encoded additional information into the filename are normally shown in their original, unencoded form. However, if you would like to make a 1:1 copy of a backup location which contains mangled filenames, then you need to use this setting so that files are copied without decoding their filenames. 

Remove parenthesized version numbers before extension on the right side: file(2).ext
Rarely used. This option will remove the version numbers in parentheses, like the example, from files on the right side, when copying right to left. Note that this checkmark is unrelated to any other versioning settings. The parenthesized version numbers are not something that Syncovery uses itself, it can only remove them.

Remove the versioning tags -1 and -2 and rename such files immediately while building the file list
Rarely used. This option helps cleaning up versioned files. These versioning tags may have been added by the conflict detection in SmartTracking mode.

Clean up all older versions based on the specified number to keep
If you change your versioning settings, you can use this checkmark to clean up the files and delete older versions which are no longer supposed to be kept. If unchecked, the limits are enforced only for files being copied.

Files Backup Up With V4 Used UTC/GMT (World Time) For Encoding (Like V5)
Up to version 4, filename encoding could use either the local time or world time. Because this was ambiguous, the filename encoding was changed to always use world time in version 5. If you still have older files, this checkmark is used to tell the program how to interpret the encoded timestamps.
