Mirroring a folder over network

[bluestrobe]

I have a Windows 2003 Server in the basement with all of my stuff on it include my main folder with information I use daily. For about a year now I keep the main use folder on the server and use it through a mapped drive on the local PC. I copy that folder to my computer (XP SP3) once a week as redundancy and every month to a portable drive for off site redundancy.

Is there a way to synchronize in live time or at timed intervals the two folders so I can actually use the local PC folder for my main work and have it synchronize with the folder on the server. Also (not needed at this point though) have it synchronize with the portable drive I use for monthly redundancy?

I checked into Shadow Copying however this looks to be more than I actually need. Any ideas?

rsync should work. i don't know if you can schedule synctoy, but it does a good enough job with the actual synchronization work.

The latest DFS does this nicely, but you must be part of a domain for it to work.

I do the manual thing with my music, as I have been to lazy and busy at work to setup a domain
