I just used it to sync a couple of Samba shares.I found this on the
Debian users list this morning though.
From the man page:
Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Win=AD
dows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and
directories to be stored on different hosts (or different
disks on the same host), modified separately, and then
brought up to date by propagating the changes in each
replica to the other.
Unison offers several advantages over various synchroniza=AD
tion methods such as CVS, Coda, rsync, Intellisync, etc.
Unison can run on and synchronize between Windows and many
UNIX platforms. Unison requires no root privileges, system
access or kernel changes to function. Unison can synchro=AD
nize changes to files and directories in both directions,
on the same machine, or across a network using ssh or a
direct socket connection.
