Folder syncronisation

[Mark One]

I was wondering if there is a way that I can have my USB pen synchronised with a folder on my PC and also a folder on a laptop.

I'd want it to update whichever files were older in either location.

Can XP do this without extra software?

i tried looking into this aswell and came to the conclusion YES you can do it but not for free. couln't find any free programmes anywhere

Sync back is good.

Forgotten how to do it on XP :S FAIL

XP Professional has Syncing iirc?

been looking at breifcase in XP, but it's not ideal.

Although it updates from USB stick to PC well, it Involves copying every file to the USB stick every time you want to walk away with it by the looks of things.

Think I'll have to keep using my batch file auto-backup.
I spose I could always write a batch file that compares files on USB and PC and copies the newer to both locations? That's a tough bit of DOS to write tho.

Get the free version. It does the job.
Only real benefit of the professional version is that it can use VSS to copy files that are currently in use.

syncback is brilliant. can you use offline folders or something?
