I use unison to emulate Windows's "offline files" feature for several |
| 12 |
subdirectories in ~, and I can say it works really well. It took me |
| 13 |
quite some time to understand all of its options, and it has some very |
| 14 |
strange behavioral quirks which are easily worked around, but I like the |
| 15 |
what I ended up with. I currently have it set up to automatically |
| 16 |
synchronize a couple of locations on my notebook with a share on my file |
| 17 |
server about every five minutes. If the server is unavailable (i.e. I am |
| 18 |
not at home), it exits silently, but will try again at the next |
| 19 |
scheduled time. In the event of file conflicts (i.e. I changed the same |
| 20 |
file on the server and on the notebook between syncs), it sends me an |
| 21 |
email listing the conflicting filenames, and I can look into it later. |
