Hi all...

I'm running two computers with Vista Ultimate x64. My main PC is running 2 RAIDs for backup... my other PC had 2 other HDDs that I'm using to backup the RAIDs... something like this:

RAID1 HDD1 --- Backup HD1 (other PC)
RAID1 HDD2

RAID2 HDD1 --- Backup HDD2 (other PC)
RAID2 HDD2

This basically means that my data is backed up on 3 cloned HDDs... twice. get it? Each set of 3 HDDs had different data.

What I want do is, instead of making sure my data is copied over the network myself... I would like an automatic program that will use my RAID drives as masters... any changes, added files, removed files, renamed directories, etc, etc... will be cloned on the fly over my network and be applied to the other PCs backup hard drives.

I guess you could think of it as Network RAID???

Is there a program out there that will do this... and work under Vista 64bit?

Thanks!,
TK.

I did have a link to a free program but I forgot you needed 64-bit. Sorry about that.

Could you toss me the link anyway?.... most 32bit stuff works... but even if it doesn't it will give me a starting point.

Thanks!

Here are some links from Snapfiles for backup utilities for drives / partitions over a network. They are all shareware unfortunately and none state 64-bit compatibility. But hopefully they can get you started.
