automated backup station

[tob]

is there a way to get the pi automatically sync some folders/partitions located on other computers?

If your RasPi has SSH access to the remote computer, then I'd suggest you investigate rsync.

But it might be simpler to setup Samba on the RasPi. Then users on the remote computers will be able to access specific shares on the RasPi.

Hi,

Also look at unison.

I use it to provide two-way synchronization - add or delete a file on either machine and the addition or deletion occurs on the other machine. Great for keeping a desktop and a laptop fully synchronized.

For other remote/server combinations I use rsync to update the 'server' end with any new or changed file on the remote machine. Deleting files on the remote machine does not delete the file on the 'server' and deleting or changing files on the 'server' does not alter the files on the local machine - at least that's how I have it setup.
