OK, if I'm understanding this correctly, the data files need to be generated on each machine each time the synchronization is to take place? For example, if I'm planning to synchronize daily, would I need to generate the map data files daily, or could I use the same map file over and over?

Are you suggesting that this might be the way to go initially and then resourt to synchronization, or back up the files each time and don't bother with synchronization?
