Hello, I am working on two Mac's and have the Problem of data concistence. I use a Floppy to carry the data from one Mac to the other. Sometimes when I am in a hurry, I forget to update the files on the harddisk. Does somebody know a startup and shutdown programm which allow me to define a set of files or folder and does : - at startup : asks for the floppy, compares the date of the files on the floppy and the harddisk, and copies the newer versions from the floppy to the harddisk. - at shutdown :asks for the floppy again, and updates all changed files on the floppies. What I am looking for is a extendet backup application (incrementel) which runs at startup and shutdown automatically. If you know about such a programm pleas e-mail me where I can get it (Adress, FAX nr of the company, price) Andre Graber Inst.for.Operations Research ETH 8092 Zuerich Tel ++41 1 256 40 21 FAX ++41 1 69 39 73 e-mail : ...mcvax!cernvax!ethz!agraber

I have a Mac at home, and one at work, and must have things like scrapbooks, notepads, and calendars on BOTH machines (i.e., I need to be able to add to my calendar whether I'm home or at work), and every once in a while I'll forget to copy my calendar/notepad/scrapbook from my hard drive before I leave work. I go home, update my calendar on the Mac at home..... Now I either have to lose any events I entered into my calendar at work the previous day, or forget what I entered at home the previous night. The suggested "solution" above would work GREAT for me, so if you know of anything even REMOTELY like it, drop me a line (E-Mail, of course, no need to force everyone else to hit 'n'). > >Andre Graber >Inst.for.Operations Research >ETH >8092 Zuerich >Tel ++41 1 256 40 21 >FAX ++41 1 69 39 73 >e-mail : ...mcvax!cernvax!ethz!agraber Michael A.
