I have been looking at utilites that sync up directories. I like Sharepoint but I am uneasy with the backup so I have opted to create a parallel directory structure. This originally started out of a need to use PDFCreator store content. So I saved the files in the file system version rather than the Sharepoint version. To synchronize the directories I have looked at several alternatives, Robocopy, Winmerge, and dirssync. <\/p>\n
I am not sure how I found this one. It is a Python program I found on sourceforge. Please notice that its name has ‘ss’ in it. I could not get the latest version dirsync<\/a> to work with Python 2.4 so I ended up using an older version with a compiled executable. It’s okay and its FTP interface is intriguing. It looks like a way to back up web sites.<\/p>\n Then I remembered that Winmerge<\/a> has recently updated their program. They have done a nice job with this program. I tried it and it worked as expected.<\/p>\n I started out this process using a batch file that called Robocopy and I will probably continue to use it. When I rebuilt my OS the scheduled job disappeared and I forgot to re-create the job. For me it is still the best solution for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have been looking at utilites that sync up directories.
