![]() ![]() The PCs are both running XP but I was going to use Cygwin's rsync and any other Unixy tools necessary to get the job done. (Yes I know about Dropbox I'm well above the 2GB free account limit and not really interested in spending $120-$240 a year when I don't need the cloud storage and something this simple has to have been done before with free & open tools.) Or do you think I'll just have to bite the bullet and use git or Mercurial despite the extra disk space for tracking versions? Whereas the problem I'm really trying to solve is having two machines be "peers" and equally just get the most recently updated files from the other. If so, I guess it makes rsync really only useful for backing up one master ("source") machine onto one or more slaves that will get the changes from the master regardless of timestamps. update flag does not solve the problem because all it does is skip I AM using both the -z and the -W flags in rsync. I have a windows box setup that I can duplicate this issue one too. I considered setting up Mercurial but realized I don't really care about versioning (especially since I'm low on disk space), and that rsync sounds like it does more of what I want - just keeping files up to date, no versions. When I use CP over a mounted NFS or CIFS share on the same directory and data, I'll see 3-4 Gb/s. I'm trying to set up two PCs to sync a folder tree so that each PC will have a copy of the tree with the most recent updates to each file. ![]()
