I havn't used this before, but I could have sworn that windows has this ability built-in. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/storage/dfs/tshootfrs.mspx File Replication Service... I'd imagine that you just download their management utility and it should be straight forward. -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group on behalf of Peter J Murray Sent: Fri 4/1/2005 11:49 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] synchronizing over network shares Hello I'm looking for something similar to rsync to keep a synced copy of files across a windows network, meaning that every night I'd synchronize copies of what's on one server on a different server (Windows Server 2003). Rsync (for windows) just hangs for a very long time and doesn't do anything, so has anyone come across a utility which acts similarly and would run alright nightly as a scheduled task? I realize I could probably use xcopy or something similar, but I'd prefer a rsync type utility. PM
