samba - Apr 2012 - Synchronizing multiple samba servers

Hi.

I have two servers located in two different time zones. I want to know if
there is a way to keep the shares synchronized.  Right now what i thought
is to run rsync from Server A to Server B . However the issue is say Server
B has a new version of the file in server A and that should not be
overwritten but should be copied back to server A. How to go about this?

Regards
Janantha

Try a cluster file-system , look at "glusterfs".

Good Luck
Daniel

Hi,

Maybe you could have a look to Unison which is a tool like rsync but in
bidirectionnal way .

What you need is a bidirectional file-sync. Even it can be improvised with
rsync, unison is the better choice. Unison is based on rsync and syncs files in
both directions automatically, and to be on the safe side, it can be set to
resolve conflicts manually.

Cheers,

Christian
