Hi List;
I have 2 laptops that I use for various contract work. I would like to find a method/tool which will alow me to easily keep a set of directories on both machines in sync. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Like Stephan said, SVN (Subversion) is your friend. I have my whole life in subversion (no pun intended). I have an external HD with the svn repository. Everytime I change something (anything from .bashrc to spreadsheets to code) I just commit my changes to svn. Then I plug the HD into one of my other machines, type "svn update" and voila. I use rsync too, but for big volumes of less important stuff. I once rsynced the wrong way, and wiped my stuff I was trying to backup, something that cannot happen with svn. HTH Marius
