I wrote at least one tool geared towards this that uses rsync (and I run on macs): http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/BackupWithRsync. That gives one-directional sync. A bi-directional sync can be maintained with unison, which does rsync back-and-forth to keep both ends in sync: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ Another fun idea I had was to put my dropbox on my server, and on my macbook, of course, and have the pmwiki working directory in a (private) dropbox folder, but that did require the server to be logged in under my account. This was okay since it’s my own VPS. Might not work with a shared hosting situation. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
