Define cost-effective? An HP microserver with a few SATA drives, a copy of windows server and DFS This is the only real option for you if you want them to continue to work (as in read/write) and when the dead server is alive, things just magically work As for robocopy synctoy et al, a far better imnsho is Robocopy from http://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/freeware-hub.html http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/compare.html The SE version gives you versioning ($35)
