Hi,
  I need a tool to sync several directories of many Linux computers on
a LAN and over the internet.  By "sync" I mean to overwrite an
unchanged old version on computer A with a new version from B.  The
sync'ing needs to handle multiple computers so that if a file is
updated on C, then computers A and B can receive that update.

  The files range from specific /etc files to /home to many more.
Most of which is text, but there is a big quantity of binary
(archives, etc) also.  I would also like to back these files up.

  I was thinking on using a star topology with the backup server in
the middle (say computer M for master).  So I could backup A, B, C and
D onto M, and then "somehow" merge the updates, resolve the conflicts,
come up with an official new version of the files (conflicts are rare
though) and then restore the latest files from M back onto A, B, C and
D.

  I wonder if BackupPC has means to simplify my needs?

Thanks,
  Simon
