Thanks for your responses on this thread:

I use Synchronize! Pro X to move back and forth between desktop and mobile Macs. It’s important to be careful not to use ANY Office component on both machines in between synchronizations, because doing so can change something in the MUD. Also, if Office Notifications is turned on on the machine you’re not using, THAT will update the MUD on that machine as well, and when you attempt to run the sync session you’ll be informed that the MUD has changed on BOTH machines.

Thanks for the tip.

 I checked out the Qdea website.   Do I get the idea correctly that “synch” in their usage means “compare last mod date and copy so that both sides have the most recent data?”    Hmmmmm, last time I backed up, my MUD was approaching 1 GB --I know, I need to prune it, but that’s a different discussion Even at LAN speeds, that’s going to take a long time to transfer — and I’d expect to do this once a day.  With Office not running on either side...

I was hoping for some more subtle solution.     At this point maybe I’m talking about some wholly Unix magic involving activating  sendmail on both Macs, which seems like a lot of trouble...

Maybe there’s simply no practical way of doing this.

We can continue the discussion off line if you want.

Thanks,

Henry
