Synchronisation Software

Any one got some recommendations for File Sync Software?

Situation:

We have 5 Network Shares. All 5 Network Shares backed up on site to a 6TB NAS. We then have a 15TB NAS at an Off site location. The 6 TB was copied to the 15TB NAS before being installed off site but the existing application is not handling the daily differential very well.

Bandwidth is not an issue just need a decent piece of software to handle the Backup/Sync that can handle copying through a VPN Connection.

Synback's what we are already using, doesn't seem to handle copying through the VPN connection to well. Sorry should have mentioned that

We use Super Flexible for any regular copy jobs we need.

Never done anything over a WAN, but might be worth a trial.

I guess you are not using Linux? I had to sync and backup 1.3 million files totaling 100GB and the only thing that really did well was rsync.

If not MOVEit could be worth considering.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure we use it here.. I'll find out.

That would be great cheers Huddy.

Seems to just constantly say it's lost the connection - If i leave a constant ping running through the VPN Tunnel it has a constant response time of 8ms and no packet loss so the VPN itself seems to run pretty sweet.
