I use several Macs extensively. Unfortunately, a couple of them are not networked (the one at home, etc), so I end up carrying around a few floppies of my 'most recent' files. As long as I'm reasonably careful and keep all my folders on 'view by date', I can keep all the hard-disks in sync, but it's a pain. Is there a utility program that can help with this? The ideal thing would keep a set of directories for folder 'Foo' on each seperate hard-disk, then when it saw a file modified on hard-disk 1 it would copy it to the floppy. Then, when next run on hard-disk 2 it would see a more recent version on the floppy and copy it onto the hard-disk. I can do this with various backup programs by doing 'incremental backups' and keeping a single control file, but its cumbersome and VERY error prone (it's more idiot-proof to just copy the most recent 10 files to a floppy, but it's slow and I still screw up sometimes). Any ideas appreciated.
