G'day mates, Just stumbled across a program called SyncBack being promoted in the latest Tudogs newsletter to hit these shores, and that reminded me that I still haven't managed to find a good, simple, file synchronisation program like the old Australian Two Disks of a couple of decades ago. (It was actually meant for working with A: and B:, but you could fool it into handling directories on C: to some extent by judicious use of the current directory and the SUBST command -- all said with that pervasive proviso "IIRC". 8-) Has anyone tried this SyncBack thing? http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html As common these days, it comes in two flavours: free and pro. (Or at least that appears to be the intention but the pro version is still in development AFAICS on the site.) The free version has the decency to provide a "no install" option, which is encouraging in these times of bloated rude software. I'd be pleased to hear of any user experience with the product (now at version 3.2 by the look of it). Thanks for your time. Cheers, Phred. -- ppnerkDELETE@THISyahoo.com.INVALID
