This is a small batch script that would be stored in the game directory. It allows you to sync the local DF folder with a remote DF folder. The purpose is to transfer saved games to other machines. Since I play DF on three machines (desktop, laptop, work desktop) it became important to keep them all the same. It will only attempt to transfer new information, and won't overwrite otherwise. It will not automatically backup/restore the seasonal auto-backup saves, only the main region folders. You will also need GetTime.cmd from [1] and either put it in your system32 dir or the dwarf fortress folder. To acctually use the script, you'll need to send two parameters to it. The first will be the location of the dwarf fortress folder on the local machine and the second is the folder on the remote machine. Whenever it pulls or pushes information from that remote source, will will log the name of the machine and the time at which is started and finished. The script will automatically display the most recent entry for you so that you know what the status is.
