Details

Unison is a file synchronization utility for UNIX and Windows that allows very easy file synchronization between two hosts (or with a slightly more complex config, more) over socket, IP, or tunneled over SSH. Supporting two way replication, Unison is ideal for situations where changes are often made to both systems that need to be synchronized.

This talk will cover general features and use cases of Unison, including a case study for using Unison as the core architecture for the files in a multi-server web cluster.
