A "non-enterprise" but free option is FreeFileSync<http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/>. We currently use this for our users to back up data from their laptops to the server.
We tried Offline Files and it didn't work in our environment, but in hindsight, the Win7 rollup may have helped fix some of the problems we had (but we are still using FreeFileSync). We also looked at SyncToy but it didn't have the automation capabilities of FreeFileSync and hence wasn't very scalable. I realize that these are not your typical "enterprise" solutions, but they work very well for our needs. -Aakash Shah From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 12:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] File sync laptops to server Hi all, A small office (5 users laptops with docks) 1x 2012 server (can add more if required , hyper-v) All laptops are windows 7 pro, what would be the recommended solution (preferably windows as software is charity pricing)?
