Syncing Folders on a Network?
I have a peer to peer lan and I use an offline backup utility for my computer, which is pretty much the only computer that does anything here. Don't get me started!

Anyway, there are one or two folders on one of the other computers that I would like to include in my backup without having to pay for another computer. I had thought to set up something like briefcase on my computer to automatically update those folders onto my hard drive periodically.

Can't find briefcase in XP.

Suggestions? I thought about having them access my forms, but if they change them and mess them up.... NO. I would rather keep the originals and also pick up for saving offsite any that they put on there.

Thanks for any suggestions. I'll also look on the web and see if I can find briefcase hiding out for download.
