Re: Windows server replication?

[Justin Dearing <zippy1981@xxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Do you just want to replicate files on UNC shares? Or is there an exchange
server or SQL server? If the former, I'd just copy the files you want to
backup with a command line utility called rsync. Its, free, open source and
very mature. It has a very efficient delta algorithim so it only transfers
the bits that change.
