Dear All,
I am currently using 2 computers, one at home and the other at work.
In order for me to synchronise my data, what I usually do is to keep track of all the files which I have used and copy them to a CD-RW so that I can update the data on the other computer. I found that this method is rather low tech and I have problem keeping track of all the files especially during busy day.
Can any one give me some idea on how I can synchronise my data more efficiently (e.g. using a software?)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
EK

I have struggled with this problem for years. I have never found a satisfactory software solution because they are usually targeted at people with a PC and a laptop. I use 2 PCs and a removable hard drive for data transfer. It can be an EIDE hard drive in a removable drawer or an external SCSI hard drive or nowadays a Firewire external drive. I have a directory on the removable drive where I store all my data, including Outlook pst files, etc. As I finish work I copy that directory to the C drive of the business computer (in may case takes about 3 minutes). When I start up the PC at home I copy the same directory to that C drive, so I always have 2 backups of the data being transported.
I, too, would like to hear from anyone with a better solution, especially software which would synchronise all 3 drives - usually the programs will only handle 2 drives.
