I use unison to emulate Windows's "offline files" feature for several
subdirectories in ~, and I can say it works really well. It took me
quite some time to understand all of its options, and it has some very
strange behavioral quirks which are easily worked around, but I like the
what I ended up with. I currently have it set up to automatically
synchronize a couple of locations on my notebook with a share on my file
server about every five minutes. If the server is unavailable (i.e. I am
not at home), it exits silently, but will try again at the next
scheduled time. In the event of file conflicts (i.e. I changed the same
file on the server and on the notebook between syncs), it sends me an
email listing the conflicting filenames, and I can look into it later.
