seems to be an rsync day today :)

And as recently pointed out....

You can simply smbmount the XP file system locally and use rsync without the need for cygwin. Yes?

Subject: Syncing Linux FS to Windows


At work I have my XP Pro box that works fine complete with my personal My Documents folder and all is controlled by a 2000 Domain Controller running Active Directory. We have three T1's at work.

At home I've got a few Windows boxes controlled by my Linux box using
Samba.  All the Windows boxes think that the Linux box is a NT server
and Windows is quite happy with the roaming profiles that I've setup and
remote shares.  I have a cable modem at home pull an average of 4MB
down.

What I want to be able to do is sync My Documents from the Windows box
at work onto the Linux box at home on an hourly bi-daily basis.  Of
course to get all the data home initially I could create a zip file but
then to keep everything updated is another story.

What would you guys recommend for this?  And of course I have full
access to the network at work from home.

Thanks,
