I have used Offline Files and Folders,
Second Copy and others to keep my data syncronized between multiple machines. Especially since I use a laptop and am always moving from one location to another in my role as a consultant. I was glad to see Microsoft released a free “power toy” called
SyncToy to keep my files in line. I have not used it yet, and will post more when I do, but Omar has a good overview of it
here. And you can't beat the price. People have groused in the past about Microsoft developing add-ins for their OS that in the past were always left to third parties to do. I love it, however, when this does happen. I find they are well written, very functional, and of course, very OS compatable. Next up Microsoft, I need you to develop an offline blog posting tool a la
BlogJet.
