so I want synchronized copies on one of my machines other than the

any box I can sync all the kids:-)
Why so many copies? Why not just designate one machine as your
"server" and treat it like a NAS -- mount its volumes on your other
machines.
> How big are said libraries? Perhaps a service like Dropbox would
work. In addition to stashing stuff (encrypted) in Amazon's cloud,
it automatically keeps things sync'd on every machine connected.
The libraries are all around 1.5 TB up also there are a few of them.
A bit big and expensive for Dropbox then. :)
The server idea is kinda what I'm doing I got real tired of all
those damn externals all over the place so I'm now using a PM G5
Dual 2.7 with 10 TBs to do the storage But most of the time I use
the MBP or one of the Cubes to work with I want to be able to sync
from where ever I am at the time. I tried the Mobile Me thing but
way too slow. I,m at the moment giving Cronosync a try like Chance
recommended maybe it will do the trick. I have a lot of machines
that I use in any given day, mostly because I can, and it gives me
something to do on the weekends fixing WIFU during the week.:-)
Lemme know how it goes with ChronoSync. I've heard good things about it.
