Well this isn't critical info. I'm not syncinc for backup purposes. And I can't keep it all on a share because they need to be in this specific folder on each machine.
They're templates for character skill sets in Guild Wars. Basically you can save a template of any of your characters' skills to a small text file that you can then load onto another character, share with a friend, load onto one of your heroes (sidekicks), or even back onto the same character if you've been playing with another skill set for a while. Pie and I want to be able to easily access each other's skill templates without having to manually copy them back and forth, and we want our laptops to stay in sync with our desktops so we don't have to keep yelling "damnit, this is the wrong Minion Master setup" every time we play in the living room.
---------------------
My original reason for wanting to sync every minute was so that if we made changes while playing, the other person could check them out almost immediately without having to manually run a sync. However, I'm thinking that's probably not going to happen all that often and for the occasions when it does, we could stand just running the sync manually.
Right now, I'm thinking that we could probably live with a daily sync for the desktops and then a "whenever I boot up" sync for the laptops. Though for the laptops, they should REALLY also have a "whenever I shut down" sync as well, but I don't think that's easily doable. What would be REALLY nice would be to have a "whenever the game loads or closes" sync on all four machines. That'd be perfect, but in that case, it'd even moreso have to be a background process that wouldn't delay the loading of the game or popup an annoying processing window.

Rich, I'll drop you a line today :)
