Sync to a remote machine without using the CLI
Authored by: stewarsh on Mar 24, '06 11:53:15AM

I actually use Unison for this task since I actually sync several machines at various points during the day. My biggest complaint with Unison is that it doesn't sync the meta-data attached to each file so makes Spotlight less useful. Reading that Chronosync does sync this data I dediced to check it out.

Unfortunately I was disappointed. In my little test, it does sync the data provided there was another change. The change the meta-data alone is not enough for Chronosync to find a difference that needs to be updated. That blows it's usefulness for me given that my Unison syncs are automated and managed by a cronjob.

Anyway, didn't mean to rant, but wanted to let others know if they are in a similar situation. I've e-mailed the developers asking if this could be added. If so, they have another customer.
