Offline File solutions ? for remote laptop users

[WarhammerUC]

Besides offline file systems.. because it never works 100% well, or users often get confused.

Is there another file sync system for windows ? basically looking for something that'll leave the file on the laptop/remote user and when it gets connected to the office network, it gets backed up or synced.

I know the veritas/symantec used to have a backup exec agent that'll backup the notebook when it's on the network

Looking for something easy to use since the users are often travelling and w/o vpn connection back to the office..

Use offline files and dont allow users to see anything and set everything via gpo. Easiest and cleanest way I can think of. Everything else would result in having to write a script to compare files/directories when users logon/off and would not be able to pick up a state change in network connectivity.

Just develop a solution and test it well.
