After close to six weeks of hick up’s and problems with my new Macbook Pro the Apple store at Chermside has given me a new unit. So today I get to spend the next umpteen hours setting everything up again. I’m not going to use Apple’s Migration Assistant<\/a> but instead use a sync tool to grab parts of the data I need. I’ve been using the ever useful ‘rsync<\/em>‘ command line app but I’m going to see if there is anything else out there to do what I need.<\/p>\n My main requirement for the application is that its gotta be easy to use and do what it actually claims. I want to keep only a snapshot of data on my laptop as I’m pretty sure I don’t need to lug around 220GB of music promo’s.<\/p>\n
