Free file synchronization software.
-
I need some free synchronization software that will allow me to mirror a 2TB hard drive with about 1 million files over a 800 Kbit link. I tried rsync and could not get that to work as a server. Not sure if the ports are blocked for that. I tried unison in the past and it chocked on this many files. I am currently using FreeFileSync but it takes over 1 hour to get to a point to tell me what files have changed. At one point I was using rsync on a linux box scheduled from a cron job and this worked well but the network police made me disconnect the linux box from the company network. Before I forget the target folder may have more files than the source. At some point that 2TB drive will fill..

If you are using Vista or Windows 7 or Windows 2008 you can use RoboCopy from the command line. I think it is very similar to rsync. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy[^]

I have not tried with so many files but you can give it a try: SyncBack[^]

I use Microsoft SyncToy religiously to sync between an ext. encrypted drive as well as synch a network folder and my local machine. It provides multiple options for how files are sync'd, and it works very well. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=c26efa36-98e0-4ee9-a7c5-98d0592d8c52&displaylang=en[^]

I didn't even know that existed. Should make certain, hideous, future tasks a bit more agreeable. Thanks!
