I was not happy with unison. I forget why, but whatever it was ... was significant enough that I barely gave it a passing glance. Within 10 minutes, I decided it simply wasn't good enough, and that's all I remember, from a year or two ago. > I have a large file server migration coming up (large being relative - > its only .5Tb - but large for us).

I was unhappy with them all until I came across GoodSync. If you feel like paying for it, it's dirt cheap. But I think they give you a 14-day or 30-day trial anyway. It sounds like you could solve your whole thing using just the trial. Personally, I pay for it on all my computers, $15 per license. (I think it's $30 for one license, $40 for 2, and $45 for 3). _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
