Hi, Mark,
It looks like this is just the sort of situation that rsync was meant
to handle. You should be able to fire it off with a crontab entry and
have it run periodically. The rsync command should ensure that all
directories and subdirectories are in sync on the two systems.
Have you looked up its capabilities and thought of how this meshes with
your needs?
Regards,
