So, there's a free program I use at work known as Sync Toy. I love it. I bounce between a lot of buildings, but at one building is where I have my server share to back up my files. I run Sync Toy. Once it's set up, all I do is open the program and click 1 button and it just runs for me.
I have it set up to synchronize. It goes from:
c:/doc and set/blah/blah/My Documents
to
\\storage\me
Question is, on the Windows machines at my house, can I set up Sync Toy to do that? Currently on each computer, I simply have a mapped network drive to the user's designated network share. My ubuntu machine is set up static IP, so it goes mapped @ \\192.168.1.111\user
I wonder if I can use sync toy to auto-backup My Documents folders to their samba share (192.168\user).
Think it would work?
Also, I dual boot... so I'm sometimes in XP on CS Source or some other game. I wonder what kind of errors they might experience if they try to run Sync Toy and I'm in XP, where my Samba share isn't connected?
