Smart Synch looks interesting. I'll certainly look into it more. I guess my biggest questions is about encryption if I am backing up files across the internet to a off site location. Is encryption built in and how good is it? If not, what are my options? IE can I create an encrypted connection between the two computers. (I'm not a network guy, so this stuff is all new to me).

Thank you for the quick replu! So I guess my question is more related to trying to do that over a secure internet connection between the two sites. Is there third party software out there desgned to do that? Or does Server 2008 have the ability to easily set this up?

I would like to ask a similar question. Let's say I have two different physical locations - both can be running Server 2008 if needed. Can you easily set up the system to backup data at the other site. It doesn't need to be the entire disk image, but perhaps documents, etc. So can server at location A back up certain folders of server at location B, and can server B backup certain folders at Server A? I'd like to keep irreplacable data off site, but have everything done automatically. In other words, I don't want to have to remember to manually back up data at site A and carry it to site B, etc. This is not a business environment, but rather two homes. Thanks,
