I have been asked by someone out of work to look into some way of them keeping a backup of all their files on a network drive.
They use their laptop (vista business) while out on the road and a desktop (xp pro) when in the office.
Files are never amended but new files are added both on the laptop and desktop.
They want one central location to store files and when the laptop or desktop is connected to the network, they want it to automatically copy the files to the network location.
My thought was to use a network hard drive and then use something like Synctoy, but they want it completely automated, no scheduled tasks, no clicking a batch file each time, they simply want it so if the drive is available it will synchronise any new files on to the drive
Any thoughts? recommendations?
