Multiple Computers

I am struggling with trying to keep my filesystems straight across my computers – this is something I really have to sit down and figure out how I want to proceed.

Short version of a very long story…

At work I have a directory stored on a networked file system – I also have files on the local drive of my work laptop.

At home I have a directory of files on my Powerbook – and another directory of files on my Powermac Desktop. I also have a home server that handles printing and other stuff in the house – and I store files on it as well. I also rent a webserver for this weblog and those of my friends.

I have to find a way to keep all of this stuff in sync – and have a backup system (for the home computers anyways) that makes sense and is reliable.

Anyone doing anything like this? How do you do it?

This is probably a good Slashdot story – I need to reword this and submit… hmm… perhaps I’ll finally get posted!

  1. Not yet – but I have an identical problem, so if you and I have this problem…I say we join together and fix it……lots of others like us out there 🙂
