My boss at work informally assigned me to look into synchronization tools for Windows. The main scenario we're looking at is computers out in the field, where we'd be doing some data-processing on site and backing up data to external drives.
I dug around a little bit and found out about MS SyncToy, but does anyone have experience with this? Any other programs you might recommend? -------------------- |

we had similiar needs at my first company. not that this helps but I just ended up writing a simple background service that would monitor the directories and realtime copy the contents to the other directories. I forget what it was but .NET has a class you can use that will fire an event for you whenever a directory's contents have changed. or if not using something like that it'd be simple enough to write in some other language with a typical event loop.
