Reccomendations: Folder synchronaization tool?

[Ameesh]

Hi guys I am looking for a *fast* folder synchronization tool.

I have and external USB Hard Drive and a File Server at home the drive can get taken to other locations and then comes back, there could be changes at both locations, do you guys know of a fast utility that can scan for changes and sync up both systems?

bonus points for someone who can find a program that can delete files from the usb hard drive but not from the file server

the program can compare the files on the last updated date (that is sufficient)

i am currently using a tool called unison it works fine other then it wont delete files period and its dog slow

comparing 200GB takes like 6 hours which is ridiculous.

Create a dos batch script and schedule it. Done.

Briefcase, but Beyond Compare might be useful too.

we thought about running xcopy twice but that defintely wouldn't do the deletes nor would it give us a mechanisim to model the changes before we commited them, the later being more important then former.
