I put a 1.5 TB HD in my Windows 7 box and my main computer is a MBP. I have a lot of professional files/folders in a FireWire 800 external HD connected to the MBP and I want to use the 1.5 TB HD in my Windows 7 box as a backup for both the HD and MBP.

Right now I am just copying files manually to the HD over the network and that's very slow and open to failure (not rsync'd.)

Anyone suggest some appropriate solutions? Should I just figure out how to setup RSync on the windows box or is there a better alternative?

Thanks!
