I use SyncBack and highly recommend it... but I caution about trying to keep multiple DX4Win files in sync. It's dangerous because the disk file is not necessarily the most recent version of your log. Frankly, much as I like DX4Win, IMO it is probably the worst choice of logger if you need to access if from multiple locations. Until Paul makes significant changes to DX4Win (unlikely I suspect) I would consider another logger that supports concurrent sessions and transfer the data to DX4Win when you are done.
