Quote:People keep saying 'backup'; is that what you're looking for? I thought you were looking for mirrors on removable media, which is to say, a two-way synch solution.I'm not looking for backups. The group I work in is responsible for backing up everything else, so that's a solved problem - SOP for this sort of project is to back up the data, the software, and the virtual machine it runs on, all at once.
What I want is mirrors. Or, rather, what my manager wants is mirrors (one for each tech, each on a USB key) for off-site browsing. Which means either the software has to be self-contained and run off the USB key, or the "mirrors" have to be directory trees holding the documents in their native formats (rather than being databases).
Yes, I realize I just presented a new "required" feature. Sorry about that; feature creep is always a pain...
