Whups! Yes, I've seen that one. Like you said, I would need the paid version, which won't work in this situation; I would need about 1200 licenses, and it's not for a non-profit. ;) Thanks for the link though, I appreciate it.

It's a program called SyncBack. They have a freeware version and a paid version for $25. For the features you're looking for you'll need the paid version. They do have non-profit pricing if you need more than 5 licenses. http://www.2brightsparks.com/ I use it do backups at home. Hope this helps! Hey Phil,

That is an interesting suggestion. I will look into it; my only reservation is that I would like the user to have some easy method of selecting which files should be backed-up -- a gui of some kind would be nice. I read your recent posts about UIs, and while I think I agree, I'm not sure I can sell a solution with no GUI to the powers that be. I fully intend to look at it, though, it sounds like a good possibility. Hmm. That is an interesting suggestion.

However, the price requirement (free) is out of my hands -- my job is to look for a free client ;-). Best wishes with your software efforts! Entrepreneurs make the world go round.
