    synching takes ages

    i been using goodsync, ive got about 10gb of files on both pc & laptop that i keep in sync with eachother. My problem is that it just takes too damn long because it ofcourse has to check which files have changed in that 10gb of files. So if you only change one image the syncing time takes 1-2 hours, this makes it completely useless for me. How do you guys and gals do this?

    Use a file server. Save copies local if you need to work offline. Create a VPN if you need to access remotely.

              yah western digital makes a 1TB mirror edition, plugs right into your usb and has 2 500 gb drives mirroring one another.

              as soon as the 2TB ones come down in price i will get one with an esata cable which is like 6 times faster than usb2 or firewire.

              this way you can also back up your external raid you work on to another external drive and keep it in another location in case of theft, fire, hurricane, etc etc
              like your safety deposit box or with you when you travel, whatever...

              with esata you can get up to 3gps transfer rate where usb2 is 480mbs

              so it will be much faster to backup
