Really, still using those outdated "Symantec is slow" crap. Get up to speed. Symantec has been kicking ass performance wise for a little while now. This isn't 2004. http://www.enpointe.com/images/assets/pdf/SEP2011-performance-testing-Enterprise-ed5%5B1%5D.pdf

Around the house I have a personal desktop, a work laptop, and my wife's personal laptop, and wanted to keep them in sync, for some datasets (like home folders, photos, software repositories, etc). In addition, there is a backup external drive for the desktop where I want it to sync nightly, and various external drives I use personally (for myself and wife), which also stores backups of some locations. Occasionally I go visit my parents in another city and bring my personal external drive (750gb) so sync my photos into an external drive my dad has there, since he has enough space. This is my off-site storage. I did some testing with various sync programs, and found SyncToy didn't handle more than 1-to-1 sync gracefully. It definitely didn't handle 2-way sync between multiple computers well. rsync would work, but obviously not as non-UNIX user friendly. Finally settled on AllwaySync, which I've used now for about 3 years very successfully. I paid a 3 system license for it, and haven't regretted it. It has been updated scores of times since I bought it, and in fact handles a few online drop-box type systems. Additionally, it just started handling sync-to-zip type function, so I can sync my home folder to a home.zip file, and it will just find the differences and re-set the zip accordingly (which handles setting the password on the ZIP, so use that with a small USB pen i've got; not as good as if it did RAR, since the filenames etc aren't encrypted, but better than nothing). Oh ya, can also handle sync over ftp, for another offsite alternative. Also has a standalone app version you can run off of a USB in case you don't want to install the app on a system. Simple and graceful, that's what I use.

Anyone notice that Yahoo mail was down for hours just now? Suppose that had something to do with geocities going offline? Wondering if it only affected geocities site owners.
