Yes, with the following caveats: a) there is a separate system with sufficient disk space to mirror specific server directories b) there is a fast enough network to support the traffic, OR install a second set of NICs and a crossover Ethernet cable for a private circuit between systems- use full duplex if possible c) one system is running Windows 32 d) SynchroFile will not copy open file structures
