Is it possible to have data sync'd between 2 windows servers over the internet? A friend and I want to have a common area on both of our machines where if I put something in the common area then it will replicate over to his machine in his common area and vise versa..

Is this possible?

The builtin method would be DFS, but you would need to set up some sort of a VPN for that.

This would be 2 or more Win2003 servers. I doubt very much that is what you have got. This is a professional service, probably costing a LOT. I remember Novell used to offer this type of thing (still does under it's Linux product line) as a fail-over non-stop process. Again a big cost service, but vital if you are running a hospital or the like.

Here is a simpler, and MUCH cheaper procedure. Buy a package called SyncBackSE (about £30 or so) and set it up to run in scheduled mode. It will cheerfully and faultlessly duplicate any two directories across a network. I use it at work in place of the aforesaid Novell failover service, to synchronise two whole servers, and it is quite simply superb. Having said that, I have two servers in the same building, not connected over the internet, but that's just a technical problem....VPN....

I sure do, 2 windows server 2003 datacenter edition machines.. Doesnt everyone have a few of them..
