    Hello I got a NAS and would like to use it as the central backup storage repository for my computers. The NAS should contain a file structure hosting: all my work files, books, electronics circui projects, music, school lectures and etc. On each computer i would like to do a SVN-like check out of a part of this file structure. E.g. i would like to check-out the folder with "electronics-projects" for my laptop. If i make any changes i can commited/syncronize this to the NAS. I do not want complete revision-system, since it takes up to much place. RSync could be part of the solution, but i miss the integration to the (Windows)Explorer, so i can see which files have been changed. Do anyone know of such tool ? Summarizing the desired tool: +No long term change history (too much space) +Allow users to check-out a subset of the repository. +File changes are visible in a windows Explorer window +Difference/and changed files can be seen before a commit +(optional) support for automatic/ daily synchronization. +open source / freeware preferred +(optional) Local delete should be possible, perhaps with indication of missing files. +support/detection of renaming/move btw: The NAS is a QNAP419, it would be able to custom sync-tools but i actually considered it a network path. Qnap recently released qSync, however it is not as exactly what i was look for and it do not have that good explorer integration.

      If you can make a few compromises (No change history, and no Windows Explorer integration) I'd recommend a file compare tool such as Winmerge[^] for example.
