We have 2 offices connected via a slow internet connection.
They share a 2 TB file store for jobs (e.g. drawings, PDFs, Word documents, etc) shared via SMB hosted on Win Server 2008 R2 and Win Server 2003 servers respectively. The remote office is finding access to it to be very slow.
What I'd like is to put a duplicate in the remote office. Every night, they should sync. If a file is changed in one location and unchanged in the other, the newer version should simply overwrite the older version.
If they're changed in BOTH locations, the old file needs to be copied to a "conflicts" folder, before the more recent file replaces the older one.
I have tried but this runs out of RAM and crashes when it gets to the analysis of file number 2 million or thereabouts.
Basically I need something like rsync, except I don't think rsync can be set to make backup of files that were changed in both locations. I think there is an option to make a backup of every file that gets overwritten, but I don't want this for files that are changed on one location only, otherwise this backup directory becomes too big too quickly. I just want a "conflicts" backup where they are changed on both locations.
Any suggestions?
