I used to work on several computers and to use a flash drive to synchronize the workspace on each machine before starting to work on it. I found that .RData always caused some trouble: Often it is corrupted even though there is no error in copying process. Does anybody have the similar experience?

If R were to store all its workspace data objects in individual files instead of one big .RData file, then you could use a revision control system like SVN. Check out the data, work on it, check it in, then on another machine just update to get the changes. However SVN doesn't work too well for binary files - conflicts being hard to resolve without someone backing down - so maybe its not such a good idea anyway... On unix boxes and derivatives, you can keep things in sync efficiently with the 'rsync' command. I think there are GUI addons for it, and Windows ports.
