I am looking for a simple solution to have 2 PS's (hp micro servers) that replication each other and stay in sync, at the moment they are both on site but I would like to move one to another office that is still connected by wifi link.

and then addtional have one of them sync to a cloud storage.

Any simple solutions ?
 
how do they currently replication each other? and what is the setup of the other office? are both connected as a WAN, or is the internet the only thing in between them?

Your replication setup would change from local IP's to remote ones, and obviously the obligatory firewall ports need to be opened and routed to that specific server/function.

depending on what OS you're running, you can easily setup a google cloud or AWS storage account and have one of them sync to there as well.

Thank for the reply,

Currently the Machines are fresh, no os' just a couple of blank drives in each..

Once the machines move off site they will probably still be in the same VPN or perhaps I will use 2 way sunc with the cloud source ?
 
The machines being micro-servers, are they used for business or media centers ?
 
BitTorrent Sync is pretty pimp. Can sync over only LAN and/or internet.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, it has issues when PC's are on different VLAN's however, there are workarounds.

Depending on what OS you are going to use it can be as simple as writing a script to rsync if its a *nix OS or using a free sync application on windows for it.
There are tons of free windows ones that will probably be fine for what you are looking for.
