Re: software advice needed

I think this is the software BBob was referring to. We've been using it for a couple of months.

MirrorFolder

Once you set the source directory and destination directory it operates totally transparent and automatic.

Excellent piece of software.

Re: software advice needed

You can download a trial version of this program here, at download.com
http://download.com.com/3000-2242-10...ml?tag=lst-0-1
it is called SmartBackup and you can set it to backup files as they are detected, to wherever you specify. This is a trial version that seems to keep working and working.

Re: software advice needed

Dont' know if this sort of thing exists in MS land or not as I haven't been there in about 8 years, but in the UNIX world, I'd setup a cron job to run every few minutes to execute a script to rsync the new images to the other systems.

It'd be about 5 lines of code with some variable settings.

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>#!/bin/bash
hosts='system1 system2 system3' # list of hosts to sync to
imgdir='/path/to/images/' # assuming the paths are the same on each box
for host in $hosts
do
rsync -avz $imgdir $host:$imgdir
done </pre><hr />
The crontab entry would look like
# Sync the image directories every 2 minutes
*/2 * * * * $HOME/bin/sync_imgdir.ksh

Good luck
