I figured I should keep a PowerBook backup on my Jaguar Server since it has plenty of disk space available, so I searched VersionTracker for a sync utility that could accomplish this with little or no effort on my part. I tried Retrospect Express, ChronoSync, FoldersSynchronizer, RSyncx and a couple of others. None of these utilities were able to complete a backup of my 4 GB Documents folder over Ethernet (well, AirPort to enet). Some of the files that did complete the journey had problems, including changed line endings and permission issues. I'm sure I could speed up my PowerBook's network connection with Extreme or a reasonable facsimile to improve the odds of a good backup, but I like my built-in AirPort card and seriously dislike being tied down to a CAT-5 cable. The utility that finally worked was File Synchronization : File Synchronization is an utility that, as its name implies, has the ability to synchronize multiple pairs of folders or files. It has been designed to be easy to use and quick to do the job. It was based originally on the File Synchronization tool provided by Apple with the old Mac OS, but has a few improvements and features to help get the job done quickly and efficiently.
