Which files? System files? Files in a folder?

Also what do you mean by Sync?

Have you looked at the NT AT command? Glenn A

Look into the robocopy.exe utility from Microsoft (free). It has a /MIR option that will mirror any folder with another folder located any (ie a server), then schedule the batch file to run with the task scheduler. Good luck.

BTW- DFS also supports replicas of data if you are running AD.
