Alternatively, can a bank manager with a several inch door 
on a bank safe at work just have a dead bolt for his home? 
Yes, of course...

I don't recall seeing anyone flaming you about you having 
different needs between home and work.

If I remember correctly, it was because you're hesitant to 
try software (Unison) whose active development had stopped. 
 The reason was odd because a lot of software out there has 
very little support...some would not even be kind enough to 
give you a web page to tell you development has stopped.  :-)

rsnapshot can do it over ssh, as well.  :-)

In the end, it's your computer and your files and no one 
will stop you.  But if it looks like you're "re-inventing 
the wheel", then someone will probably say something...  ;-)
