Hi Ralph, I use an inexpensive program, SyncBase by 2BbrightSparks, to sync Dx4Win on 2 networked computers. The program runs in the background, and monitors changes to any Dx4Win files I specify the program to keep in sync. I don't sync the country files or the Dx4Win.INI files because I ran into hassles syncing those files. The details of which I won't go into here.
In addition, the program does great backups. The program can do full, incremental and differential backups. I do incremental backups on each machine. Here is the link to 2BrightSparks' home page: http://www.2brightsparks.com/ Based on the response you're getting on the reflector, this is only one possible solution to keep your Dx4Win files in sync. Good luck with whatever solution you employ.

I would like to use one, single log file at all the positions and use different groups to differentiate stations or positions. To keep an updated, current log at each station/position, I've come up with the following scheme: I use the free program, Dropbox, to hold files that I want to share between computers and keep files updated on each computer. I operate and log QSO's to a "Master" log. I then copy this log to Dropbox. When I start operating from another station or location, I copy the "Master" log from Dropbox to my SAVE folder. I operate and start the process over again, copying the new log to Dropbox and allow the program to make updated log files available on each of the station computers --- for that matter any computer on the planet. Is this a safe, reasonable way of have one, current, updated log shared by several positions and stations? Is there a better way? Thoughts and ideas appreciated. Thanks, Ralph - K0IR ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
