Probably this product works ok when syncing folders onto local drives. But when networks get involved it falls over flat on its face.
1. It gets horribly confused when mounting a remote share. As I type this I see a red warning "Cannot Locate Target" even though the target is mounted in Finder. If I setup its options to automatically connect to the target they simply dont work.
2. Performance is awful. Copy speeds seem to max out at 100Kbytes/sec (across a GB wired LAN!). The analysis phase is *slow* ... expect to wait 30+ minutes for medium sized sync operations.
3. Folder deletes on target dont work. This bug has been around since 3.x days. Tell CS to delete files/folders on the target and watch as it silently skips this. So you *cannot* reliably ask the product to mirror a folder tree.
Basically, it doesnt work. I'd advise *very* careful evaluation of your needs before using this product.
