File sync or replication

Question

What is the easiest way to sync or replicate files over a network? I am running a few servers in a rack for load balancing and wish to mirror content.

For example, I have Server 1 where I do my FTP uploads to. Server 2 is another node. The manual way is for me to also do FTP uploads to Server 2 but I am sure it can be done automatically without my presence or without the user logged in.

I have tried SyncToy but it just doesn't run when the user is not logged in. I have to manually run it.

Are there better ways? I saw Microsoft DFS but it is just too complicated for me to set up.

Answer 1

Try SyncBack. There's a light-weight version (SE) which is free and a Pro version.
