I recently found this easy to use program, "Synctoy" at Microsoft that allows syncronizing files between multiple computers.

BS and Technical......
I just started using it at work and plan on using it at home. I have multiple computers with files scattered on all my PC's. If one of them dies, I'm screwed on some of the files. So I'm using Synctoy as a backup. I currently use batch files to do backups, but this make is simpler. Thought I'd share this with you. So far it's working.
Note: version 1.4 does not allow renaming of folder pairs, version 2.0 does. In both versions, make sure your folder pair names are in the order in which you want them to run because is creates the list alphabetically. I had to do this to sync items on three PC's. I started folder pair names with 00, 05, 10 etc., that way I can insert folder pairs between others if I need to.
