switch to Win XP all the time I want to make a backup or synchronize the
systems.
Does anybody know which Linux program performs these actions by simply
copying files from one system to the system on which they are not present and
overwriting old files with the newer versions? This is the way I use to my
satisfaction the program SyncBack.exe. Of course, the Win XP machine is
accessible via smb.
You might want to look at either BackupPC or Unison. Unison is basically a
two-way rsync that you run when you choose (or script via cron), so it can keep
the newest file whether you change it on the PC or portable; normally with rsync
you cannot do that. I've never used BackupPC but it is supposed to be a
full-blown backup solution.
