Hi,
I have a PC at work, and a PC at home. And I am really tired to
build the same environment at home every time I changed something at
work.
So just wonder if you guys have some idea to help. For example, when
I updates something (configuration, packages, etc), the tool would
somehow record the change (through internet or on a usb drive). So I
could just re-do the change at home.
I use rsync for exactly that.
Have a look at man rsync.
Unison could do that, it's doing rsync's job but in a bi-directional or
"star" configuration. I use it to keep laptops in sync with a "master"
(rsync could do this part) computer, but also retrieve files added to
the laptops during the day. It's easy to write different profiles (i.e.
"system_sync", "home_sync", ...etc) or configuration files to tailor it
to your needs.
Otherwise you could use a "file alteration monitor" program (you'll find
several in the repo) and write a script to have it call "cp" to a usb
flash drive on those modified files. Even "find" could do that easily.
HIH
