File Syncronization

I have been asked to source some file syncronisation software toin effect backup the data from a remote machine to a server. My preference would be for some real time sync software. I have downloaded and trialed PeerSync v7.4 and find that does what I need it to, but would also appreciate any recommendations for "Experts" on the best apps to achieve this and whats best to look for. I am new to the job and am eager to make a good first impression and so any advice would be appreciated. The target folder is in excess of 10gb. Thanks in advance.

I really like SyncBack. There are 3 versions of it, the lowest version being free. The other versions have a lot more features, but likely you wouldn't need them. I'm not sure what their policy is on the free one. It may not be for commercial use, so take a look at their site, but I use the program for all my backups. It can do real-time or scheduled, and Sync or just Backup. It has tons of options.

Cheers sjl1986. Hadn't come accross that one. Have downloaded the trial and am running a simulated run. The Source folder is in excess of 10gb so assume it will take some time! do you know if this can be ran as a process/service so it can run continually in the background on the server?
