Syncing over the Internet

[Azhar]

As the topic says, I'm searching for a software that functions like SyncToy, but supports syncing over the internet. My company has about 50-ish employees all over the country and a home office where our servers are (Exchange, TS, etc). I would like them all to automatically and regularly back their data up on our server's storage drive.

Is there such software?

Don't they use VPN's to get into the network? I use SyncToy for all of my remote employees, and it works fine once they connect via our VPN.

Hmm.. I didn't even think of that. No, they don't use VPN as they never had a reason to. Our Exchange is set up with RPC and webmail capability so they could use Outlook remotely, and we use Sharepoint to share documents and such, and terminal server and Citrix to use our production software Primavera (which uses our SQL 2005 server). So I've never had a reason to install a VPN server. I'm going to have to see if I can fit that into my deployment plan. Thanks for reminding me of this, Deacon.

No problem! The only issue I get are the usual calls asking why it fails....which 100% of the time is due to the user not connecting to the VPN first.
