Merging Folders

[monkey man]

I was using a central server but it became frustrating dealing with network drops. FreeFileSync seems to do everything I need. It can store setups that sync pairs of folders in different locations. I tired it out over the weekend on large test folders and it worked well. I can set it up as a simple event no more complicated than copying a project back to a central server, and can probably automate it. There is also a version that works in the background and keeps an eye out for directory changes and then does syncs at prescribed times.

At this point i have the test folder on three different macs and a network server and all three macs have a TM copy so while there might be small variations at any one time things look pretty safe. It also keeps a copy of any files overwritten in the sync process so you can always go backwards.

That stuff's way beyond my pay grade Brother Stoivo; I'm impressed mate.
