Hi! % % [Apologies for the off-topic question. Hope you will bear with me] % % Given that this is a PHP General newsgroup I figured there's a good chance Um, why? Do you expect to find such a tool written in php?? % someone here would know the answer to this question. Can anyone here % recommend a file-sync application/package for Linux servers that has the % following features: ... % I have come across the likes of 'rsync' and 'unison' but they both seem to % be command line intensive and I can't find much in the way of descent I was going to recommend unison, but you seem to have tried it already. Of course, it does have a GUI interface, and the documentation, while curiously contained within, is quite comprehensive. There is also a mailing list. However, it sounds like what you really want is a backup tool. If you're only handling data (logical since you probably don't have two machines with identical host names and addresses) then it would be easy enough to just delete the archive checksum files and run unison again and let it populate the [possibly partially-]empty tree -- or just tar or zip over the data. Anyway, take a look again at what level of restore you need; if you're talking about bringing a dead system back to life, then use a real backup tool whether or not you use a file sync tool to keep them rolling along.
