Is it possible to synchronize two hosts via a removable drive?
Yes, there are 2 ways in which this can be done. 1) You can use the removable drive as the hub of your unison sychronization, and sync each computer with the removable drive. 2) There is a hybrid, network/removable drive hack that can be used by creating a shell script. I use this method to keep a file server at my home office and regular office in sync. Pros: • You do not need enough free space on the removable drive for the entire replica. • You don’t have to worry about a large file hogging your bandwidth Cons: • It may take several iterations of being executed on the client and server before the replicas are in sync. This is because the file is not actually transferred at the time unison is run so you will get this error: External copy program did not create target file (or bad length) So only 1 file per directory will be copied to the removable drive. Here are the steps required: • Add the following lines to your normal synchronization profile or modify the existing settings. This
