I am looking for a program that can backup and/or synchronize data on my laptop (FC 8), on another FC 8 and on a WIN XP on my LAN. I have for WIN - WIN synchronization and/or backup the program SyncBack, but don want to have to 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.
