[FRIAM] [WedTech] stupidest question ever asked on wedtech

[Robert Holmes]

I'm having success with a combination of a SimpleTech 80GB external drive
(fits in a shirt pocket, runs off USB, $130) and Microsoft's SyncToy (one of
the few pieces of MS software that does what it's meant to and no more).

Strictly speaking this isn't a pure backup solution: my problem is that I
work on a couple of machines in the office and a couple at home, and I want
to make sure that I've always got the latest version of data, programs etc.
to hand. By syncing regularly with all these machines I avoid version
problems plus I get a pretty robust distributed backup (also I can cycle to
work as I'm not lugging a laptop).
