Okay as you can see in my previous post
the temptation to buy a Mac Pro is, for me, almost irresistible.
Now currently I have a MBP which I carry to and from the office each day (can't bare to work on the PCs in the office) and it has about 3Gb of docs, both personal and work related.

I'll want to have those docs on both the MP & MBP and I'll want them in sync. What's the best way to keep those docs in sync????

I'd also be curious to hear how people deal with keep their iTunes library in sync across two machines.

thanks in advance ???
 
I would have said MobileMe but after checking it won't sync files, though you could have all of your docs stored on iDisk which is part of MobileMe. Its a little slow though. Another option would be something like a WD My Book World Edition which has remote access. But that would probably also depend on your office firewall allowing the connection from outside the network.
 
I do use iDisk as a secondary backup for essential files, but I'd be loath to use it for keeping several gigs of docs in sync - its just to slow !
 
Depending on how much control you have over the network the Mac Pro is on, I would suggest setting up an rsync server on it and just sync the files over to the MBP.

I was hoping to avoid carry one more piece of kit around.
I guess the best way forward is a a wireless method for the MBP to sync with the MB every time I bring it home...
