Ideally I want Server-A to have a full backup of the shared repository. I currently have a client repository for both Client-A and Client-B. Also, both Client-A and Client-B have a "full backup" repository pointing to the same repository hosted on Server-A. Is this OK? Should only one of the the client's have this repository as a "full backup"? Will this current setup also have git annex assistant auto-sync the repositories between the clients? I have both clients setup right now and they have both successfully cloned the shared repository, but I have noticed that they have yet to sync up modifications made on the other client. An alternative setup I can think of would be to have Client-A keep its current configuration and have Client-B switch the "full backup" repository to be just a "transfer" repository. + +I hope my intentions are clear. Please give me your recommendations. + +Regards, +Blake
