I use unison, which is sort of an improved rsync method (and can/does 
use rsync).  The gui gives a nice graphical method of initiating syncs, 
looking through differences quick, what is syncing in what direction, 
and is pretty efficient.

I do that mounting to an nfs file (infrant/netgear box appliance like 
yours), and use that as a focal point for sync.

I like unison better than others including "just" rsync as it gives me a 
chance to look over changes in an efficient gui.  I tend to do some 
multi-master workflow between my desktop, laptop, and various vm's I 
work in since I end up traveling and across various customer sites and 
systems.  I never trust ssd's anymore, and need redundancy between 
losing a whole system for critical data.

The gui is decent (unison-gtk), but the cli version (unison) is nice 
once you establish a profile, set it up the way you want 
(exclusions/filters), then just add to a cron job to sync regularly.

If using ubunutu, not ymmv with different versions.  I've noticed 14.04 
versions there are several, and only 1 of the 3 didn't just crash when 
trying to use.  The Version 2.40.102 of unison-gtk is what I found works 
just fine.

Sadly there doesn't seem to be a gui version of unison for windoze.  I 
have a new client that I was handed a windoze laptop to use, and tried 
using dirsync pro (dirsyncpro.org) that does roughly the same things as 
unison, and does have a windoze, mac, or linux version.  Hell, they have 
a dos version, so props on compat.  Have not tried under linux, but was 
fairly impressed for windoze software, and gpl3 so not payware like most 
things windoze.  Might migrate to be consistent and less quirky than 
unison's version issues.
