I am considering using Live Mesh to replace rdist, syncback(ftp tool) and a few other tools I use to sync files between systems. So I thought of asking these questions before I decide to replace what is already working!
Does Live Mesh has any file size and number of folder limit for syncing between machines (I am not talking about the 5GB live storage limit)? I could not find a clear answer of this on the web.
How does the sync algorithm work? I use rdist and it can sync incrementally (say you have a 1GB file and only 10K of that file is changed, it will not send 1GB over the network). Also do you know if it compresses before sending files?
If two machines are on a LAN, will it sync on the LAN or will upload and download via internet?
What do you find as other advantages or disadvantages (mainly disadvantages) of using it.
Thanks for your time.
