Sync Between Kubuntu and Windows computer?

[ScottyK]

Is it possible for a Kubuntu computer to sync to a Windows machine?

I have a ton of movies/music/pictures etc on my Kubuntu machine that I want to mirror onto another windows machine. The windows machine is shared on the network, so everybody else can read from it.

(Someday I'll make a linux box the "server" but for now I'm still learning Kubuntu, and using one machine to do it)

I've got Carbonite on the windows machine, so what I want is whatever I do on the Kubuntu machine, I want it mirrored over to the windows machine, so Carbonite can send the data off to be backed up.

Easy? Difficult? Insane? Thanks!

And Merry Christmas everybody.

If you're talking about syncing directly from the kubuntu box to the windows box, rsync and a cron job could do it easily.

Don't know if you can use Carbonite to do it though...

For Linux to Windows, rsync is perfect. If you're going from Windows to Linux, you could try SyncToy, although it's manual.
