rsync replacement

[Mike Jackson]

Hello Matt,

You are correct when you say that syncdat is a rsync or unison like  
product but what sets them apart is the enhanced performance over a  
wide area network that syncdat provides.  By utilizing our MTP  
technology, sycndat is able to scan and send changed files up to ten  
times faster and in some cases even faster depending on the  
configuration and network path.  We use live customer scenarios for  
our benchmarks, which I could forward onto you but what I recommend  
that you do is give the software a try in your environment.  This  
will give you a true benchmark for your situation based on your live  
network environment.

Mike
