I had the same situation a few days ago.<br />
Here is what I do to sync all my files and have them backed up at the same time.<br />
<br />
After trying a few other systems. &nbsp;I decided on Google Drive.<br />
<br />
Benefits:<br />
Free 5gb.<br />
You can share with anyone.<br />
And the folder syncs with you computer.<br />
ANd more.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I installed the Google Drive program on Windows 2008 server. That will act as the main<br />
file holder, <br />
Then I added the files I wanted to sync. Google uploaded them to my Google Drive.<br />

A similar solution to Google Drive would be <a href="http://www.dropbox.com" rel="ugc">Dropbox</a>.<br />
<br />
It also seems that Dropbox can be run as a service on your server, although I have not tried it myself -&gt;<a href="http://superuser.com/questions/41992/how-to-configure-dropbox-as-a-service" rel="ugc">How To Configure Dropbox as a Service</a>

A few questions on DFS which I have been looking at:-<br />
<br />
a,. What is the &quot;staging folder&quot;? <br />
<br />
b. Can I use a DFS name / share as a &quot;home folder&quot; for a user in the Windows interface.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the Dropbox and Google suggestions - I am looking at these alternatives as well.

<div>
a. To quote from the <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc782648(v=ws.10).aspx" rel="ugc">Staging folders and Conflict and Deleted folders</a>:<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
DFS Replication uses staging folders to act as caches for new and changed files to be replicated from sending members to receiving members.
</blockquote>
<br />
b.You could use DFS for &quot;home folder&quot; but you must take care if you want to use &quot;folder redirection&quot; - for more details see the <b>DFS and Folder Redirection</b> section from the <a href="http://msmvps.com/blogs/acefekay/archive/2009/09/08/folder-redirection.aspx" rel="ugc">Folder Redirection</a> article.

I have a number of Word templates on Server A in office A that are also used in office B.<br />
<br />
Is there a way using Windows Server 2008 I can have a set up that they also appear on Server B in office B. If office B makes changes, then they are copies across to office A etc.<br />
<br />
I thought there was a feature in Windows 2008 - but I cannot find it
