In our small office we have been using Live Mesh very successfully to keep our shared folcers updated on three machines. We use Live Mesh instead of a local synching solution such as SyncToy because some of the machines are laptops which we use on the road.
Currently, I created the folder which is then shared by two other users with their own LiveIDs.
I would like to take the concept further and I would like to apply she synching to more folders: I want to replicate the three users on all three machines and then synch all of their data folders (My Documents, Music, Videos, Desktop) on all three machines.
This would have the advantage that I would only need to back up the content on one machine once a week and I would not need to back up each machine separately.
To do this I would like to do the synching with only one LiveID, but I have a few questions about this procedure:
1) Can an "admin user" set up sharing for folders on other users folders on each machine (i.e. my account on each machine would set up sync for folders on other profiles)? Any potential problem with that?
2) If the admin is not logged in, will live mesh run in the background and still update its foulders and the ones of the other users?
Thank you in advance for your replies.
