Is FREP avalaible somewhere? I'd love to bang on it. Remote Raw
Devices would be cool, but if there's an easy way to sync individual
files, that would do a good job too.

How does FREP figure out what files need to be synced (walking the
tree isn't exactly fast for big servers...)?



Best regards,
 Gabriel
