For those of you who use JungleDisk, maybe you know this, but it is new to me today. As I continued to mull over the best way to copy my imported items folder automatically, I came up with this. I am using JungleDisk Desktop edition for my end of day online backup. In addition to online backup, JD provides an added disk, "J", network drive, that looks like a local drive on my computer even though it is online. I set up the AC II folder as a sync folder on this drive. You can then use JungleDisk on other computers to sync to it as well. You can set the sync interval to whatever you want. So, the II are synced to multiple locations throughtout the day rather than waiting for my end of day backup. Pretty nifty, like a continuous incremental backup! A nice use for those of us using P2P, not server/RAID setups. And the network drive can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. Perhaps old hat to you techies, but a discovery for me!
One of the problems I face is that my office has a DSL connection, and I have been concerned that as the II grew that backups online would be time consuming. I think that by doing it this way, it will solve that problem. The II folder on the J drive is also synced to a home computer, so if the office computer fails, I can just copy the file from my home machine and carry it back to the office, not having to retrieve it all online.
