btsync vs rsync vs syncting

[Scareh]

Just a small description:

I have 2 hp microserver on 2 physical different locations, but on the same network.
One is a n54l with 16Gb ram, other a n40l with 8.

On the 54 i have a 2 * 1 tb mirror that holds pretty much all my pictures.
On the 40 i have a 4 * 1 tb raidz2 that holds the same pictures. (or should anyway)

Problem is now that the gf starts moving pictures around in folders, renaming them and so on.
I want both boxes to have the same lay out in folder structure and pictures inside folders. But for the safe side, I don't want any picture that gets deleted by accident (or on purpose) to be deleted on the 2nd box.

Which tool is best suited for the job? The syncronisation doesn't have to happen immediately, but it doesn't bother me if it does. (cron job for rsync for example, or btsync does it immediately when it detects the change).

I'm just wondering what the "pro's" are using, think is the best/efficient tool.

thanks allready

Will the syncing be bidirectional or does she only modify files on one of the servers?

she needs to stay on 1 server :p
the other server is just a backup one that she won't have access to. Just a safekeeping of the pictures but in the same way as the original filestructure.
That way IF the worst happens, i can just copy the backup folder structure back and she won't notice much.

I'd configure snapshots for the dataset in question (maybe once per day, keep for two weeks) and use ZFS replication. http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_storage.html#replication-tasks.
