I'm looking for a simple way to backup work files from a portable computer (slate) to a network share, and am interested in others' experience with this sort of rot. Here are the various things I've tried in the past:

Copy and paste: it works, but if the files I need backed up are in different folders on the slate, this becomes time-consuming.

Briefcase: despite claims that it doesn't work over a network, I've been using it over a network for years. If (and when) our I.T. department reorganizes the network paths, a new briefcase is needed, which is fine, as the original, working files reside on the slate. Does anyone know why it's said not to work over a network?

Roaming profiles: a frickin' nightmare. Has this worked well for others?

Offline files: I'm tinkering with this now to see how it works. Has anyone used these before? Did they fit the bill?

Thanks.
