Hi,
I am pretty confident, that this is a newbie question. Nevertheless, I did not find the answer (or the solution) event after looking at the screencasts and reading through the files.
I want to sync 2 clients on different networks though a ssh cloud server begin a full backup. Also, I would like to do this for 2 different folders on the clients and server. I mean : client 1, 2 and the server sync a repo named "DATA" and also sync another repo named "IMAGES"
Setting the client1 as local client repo and also ssh remote repo works quite well, it uploads everything to the server. Then I make the same on the second client, and it does not start to download everything from the server...
Any clue ?
Ok, I found PART of the answer here : https://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/Two_computers__44___one_networked_repository__44___no_Jabber_-_how_to_setup_sync__63___/
It is mentioned to use Jabber to make both clients message each other when there is something new to sync. What about my setup with 2 groups of repos syncing together each for itself ? I read somewhere, that the jabber account will sync ALL repos. Is the solution to create 2 Jabber accounts ?
Since you have a ssh server, it's better to avoid jabber. Install git-annex 5.20140405 or newer on the server, and the clients will use it to communicate with one-another.
