Need some advise as to whether there is a program like 'syncback' to
synchronise folders between a computer and a usb memory stick.
The problem is that I need to synchronise folders on my office pc with those
on the memory stick, Only we are not allowed to install any programs on the
office pc. So I guess what I really require is such a program but with
'no-install' that I can run from the memory stick.
Am I barking up the wrong tree or are there such programs around.
Appreciate your advise. (The OS would be windowsxp)

Thanks

Danny

Did you already try the no-install version of syncback?

Thanks Slayfinger. No silly me....I missed that. I thought that meant it did
not come with a self installer!!
will give it a try. Many thanks for your valuable suggestion. Much
appreciated.

Thanks again.

myEasySync is a no install that runs also on WinXP. It creates a shortcut
for the sync of two folders, with the settings you choose, so when you run
the shortcut it will analyze the two folders showing all the differences,
and you can choose among backup, restore or synchronize.

But don't know if it fits your needs, because you need to create a shortcut
for every couple of folders, and these shortcuts go on the desktop.

Thanks Maria,

If it's only shortcuts it creates on the pc I may be allowed to do this. But
it may be impractical to set it up for about 9 folders. Will try it if
syncback doesn't meet my needs.
Thanks for the time and suggestion. Much appreciated.

Danny

Unison


Overview:

Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows
two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on
different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified
separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in
each replica to the other. Unison shares a number of features with
tools such as configuration management packages (CVS, PRCS, Subversion,
BitKeeper, etc.), distributed filesystems (Coda, etc.), uni-directional
mirroring utilities (rsync, etc.), and other synchronizers
(Intellisync, Reconcile, etc). However, there are several points where
it differs: Unison runs on both Windows and many flavors of Unix
(Solaris, Linux, OS X, etc.) systems. Moreover, Unison works across
platforms, allowing you to synchronize a Windows laptop with a Unix
server, for example. Unlike simple mirroring or backup utilities,
Unison can deal with updates to both replicas of a distributed
directory structure. Updates that do not conflict are propagated
automatically. Conflicting updates are detected and displayed. Unlike a
distributed filesystem, Unison is a user-level program: there is no
need to modify the kernel or to have superuser privileges on either
host. Unison works between any pair of machines connected to the
internet, communicating over either a direct socket link or tunneling
over an encrypted ssh connection. It is careful with network bandwidth,
and runs well over slow links such as PPP connections. Transfers of
small updates to large files are optimized using a compression protocol
similar to rsync. Unison is resilient to failure. It is careful to
leave the replicas and its own private structures in a sensible state
at all times, even in case of abnormal termination or communication
failures. Unison has a clear and precise specification. Unison is free;
full source code is available under the GNU Public License.
