Method and server for system synchronization
First Claim
1. A server for synchronizing at least one remote system with a master system, said server comprising:
- a communication unit for communicating with the master system and with the at least one remote system over a data network; and
a control unit for;
detecting files to be synchronized that are present in the master system but missing in the at least one remote system;
comparing corresponding check sums of files of data to be synchronized, wherein receiving said check sums from the master system and from the at least one remote system;
detecting corresponding files with different check sums; and
initiating the transmission of said detected files from the master system to the at least one remote system.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method for synchronizing at least one remote system with a master system, and a server for synchronizing at least one remote system with a master system. The server comprises a communication unit for communicating with the master system and with the at least one remote system over a data network. Further, is comprises a control unit. The control unit detects files to be synchronized that are present in the master system but missing in the at least one remote system. Then, it compares corresponding check sums of files to be synchronized, wherein receiving said check sums from the master system and from at least one remote system. The control unit detects corresponding files with different check sums and initiates the transmission of the detected files from the master system to the at least one remote system.

10. A method for synchronizing at least one remote system with a master system, wherein files to be updated are sent over a data network connecting the master system with the at least one remote system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting files that are present in the master system, but missing in the at least one remote system;
sending check sums calculated for corresponding files to be synchronized to a comparison server;
detecting files with different check sums; and
initiating the transmission of said detected files from the master system to the at least one remote system.
