Our office here has ~10 laptops (one assigned to each person). There is currently no backup solution. The folks in corporate IT want us to manually copy the important stuff to the network drives that are located in the corporate office. We have a cable modem with 7Mbit/sec download and 512kbit/sec upload. That's completely unfeasible given the size of the files in question and number of users.
I want a local server in our closet on the domain that will automatically synchronize certain folders on our laptops to it when we log onto the domain. Due to the amount of data it needs to use some sort rsync or intelligent copy where only files that changed since the last run are copied. We currently have a 100Mbit/sec switched network for the office.
Do any of the Windows Server OS flavors have this sort capability, or is there a software package that will offer this sort of functionality for multiple users? My preference is that the software sit on the server and it pull the data from the laptop rather than software that's installed on each laptop that pushes the data to the server.
Thoughts?
