I do most of my work on an IBM Thinkpad 570 running Debian GNU/Linux, but for safety I keep my home directory synchronized on three different servers as well; the home server in the Area 41 collective, the private server box I keep at work and, of course, the NFS server at work. I do the actual synchronization manually, using rsync over ssh. I use this: rsync -e ssh -q --links --times --update --delete -r --exclude 'no-rsync' ~/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:. aliased as "jobsync", for ease of typing. For more information on rsync, visit: <URL:http://rsync.samba.org> I'm really interested in development of offline capabilities in network filesystems such as Coda, but I wouldn't trust any of them in a production environment just yet. I put my faith in rsync for the time being. It hasn't failed me yet. -- Mikael "MC" Cardell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Temple of the Moby Hack Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
