matto Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Servers are good where you have multple computers working at the same site. (or at least with a connection) But as you are using a Powerbook to go mobile what you might consider is a file Sync Utility (try a search at versiontracker to find one that suits your system) that way you set up a folder on each machine that contains your files, set the file sync to run as you connect or disconnect the PB. this will keep the versions of file up to date. the good ones will warn you if you have worked on the file in both locations before overwriting. and will mean you have a backup of your files. one with you, on the PB, and the other one on site Quote Link to comment
Kevin Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 I have a desktop Mac and a Powerbook. When I want to work on a VW file on the road I copy the file from the desktop to the Powerbook. Problem is I sometimes forget to copy it back to the desktop unit and find myself working on an old file on the desktop. What is the proper way to handle this. Is it a server? I know nothing about servers so any help and advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
