Synchrorep

Synchorep is an opensource software to synchronize two directories, that means reporting all modifications of one to the other and vice versa. At the end of synchronization, both directories will be strictly the same.

This is useful mainly for nomads who work with a laptop or usb key but may interest also users who want to gain time with the use of differential copy.
