Yeah! :-)

Disk bloat is, in my opinion, on workstations where NMR spectra are processed
not that big problem. Of course, now and then you should clean up things.

A warning when the data ist missing and if there's new data, you could ask
something like "don't change anything", "replace spectra" and "import spectra
as new one". Maybe add a button like "don't ask me again".

Very nice!

I would leave this to a backup utility like e.g. unison.
