Syncronizing Folders..

[dawks]

I have to computers here, one of which I do 95% of my work/homework on. I would like to keep Computer A's 'My Documents' syncronized with a folder on Computer B.

Is there an easier, more automatic way, then Select All > Copy > Navigate > Paste > Acknowlege Prompts..

I tried 'My Breifcase' but I dont know how to set it up. I cant get it to work properly.

OS or the Software forum

This isnt a OS issue. No one visits software forum.

Thanks for your useless post though.

Certainly does relate to the OS and if no one visited the software forum why would there be one.





Try Google.

Can't you just share one of your computers My Documents folder, and them make a link on your desktop to that folder?

The idea is having sort of an automatic backup. Computer B will hold a copy of all the documents on computer a. Computer B also has a CD Burner for a more long term backup solution. As I understand 'My Briefcase' would work, but I dont know how to configure it. If someone has some experience with this, and could lend a hand, that would be nice

This really is not an OS issue. It has nothing to do with the OS. This issue would exsist regaurdless of the OS I use, be it Windows 98, Windows Server 2003, Redhat 7.3, or OS 10.0.2 for example.

Sure, it's an OS issue. If you're running a Windows Server, can't you just setup folder replication?

So you want two my document folders, but both should contain the same items? If I saved File1.txt on Computer A, it should also be saved on Computer B.

Yea, doesnt have to be instant though.. Could be replicated once per week sort of deal.

SmartSyncPro works great for me. I, err, "borrowed" a friend's version for a while, and ended up buying my own copy!
