unison: unison (file-synchronization tool) unison: unison: Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows unison: two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on unison: different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified unison: separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in unison: each replica to the other. unison: Unlike simple mirroring or backup utilities, Unison can deal with unison: updates to both replicas of a distributed directory structure. Updates unison: that do not conflict are propagated automatically. Conflicting updates unison: are detected and displayed.
