Unison is a simple tool that allows you to synchronize your files between two locations. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
Some of the unique features in Unison include:
* It is compatible with both Unix and Windows, making it a versatile synchronization tool across all OS.
* Monitoring of the two replicas for updates. Changes make to any of the replica that are propagated to the other replica automatically. If there is any conflict detected, it will be displayed on the screen.
* Able to work with a local directory, SSH, RSH and Socket.
* It is resilient to failure. It is careful to leave the replicas and its own private structures in a sensible state at all times, even in case of abnormal termination or communication failures.
