Hi Unisoners,<div><br></div><div>Ben Pierce said that unison was intended as a stopgap while we wait for sufficiently good distributed file systems to come around, as of September 2009 he said he was "still waiting".</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have to admit that I've been using unison for many years, and am a bit in love with it and with the complicated configurations I've set up. However, I also notice that some systems (notably DropBox) have been getting quite good recently. And they certainly excel in the UI area and in low-configuration requirements (unison weak points IMHO).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyhow, I'm thinking about how I can use dropbox for the "hottest" 2gb of my data (that's the free account size), while using unison to back up everything else. Unfortunately, in general, my history with using multiple synchronization systems in concert has been painful (e.g. when I unison SVN working copies...).</div>
