[lug] Re: Can Unix Samba server copy files from Windows shares?

[Craig H. Anderson]

I've had good look using Unison on windows.
See http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ 

I'm using the windows scheduler to do automated nightly bidirectional
syncs.  It can be configured for one direction backup.
