Take a look at Syncthing. I think you'll like it. ;-)
- gibspaulding 4y agoHeh, I've done exactly what your parent describes on an entire directory with syncthing. It was my fault for misunderstanding how to add a new device, but that catastrophic confusion has scared me away ever since.
- Filligree 4y agoHow did that happen? I've got ZFS snapshots as well, so I'm not overly worried, but I wasn't aware that was a failure mode.
- gibspaulding 4y agoIf I remember right, I was adding a new device and misread the dialog for which way to sync the files. I ended up setting it up so that an empty directory overrode a full one. It was pretty immediately obvious what I'd done, and I was able to recover from a backup, but that brief moment of panic after realizing what I'd done definitely got my attention! This definitely isn't a criticism of the SyncThing project, I just made a dumb error, but it is a lesson on not "testing in prod" or entrusting important data with a non-professional (such as myself).
