Many years ago ACT! developed a tool within ACT! (synchronization) that allowed you to keep two computers updated with your ACT! data; for example your office desktop and a notebook computer you might travel with. Those tools within ACT! worked well, but not perfectly.
Today, because of our ability to connect to the internet in so many places, I question the need to sync at all.
If you use a tool such as GoToMyPC or LogMeIn, you have the ability to access your office computer and ACT! from any computer in the world that has internet access. In addition, you have access to all your other programs as well.
In a nutshell, your laptop computer becomes nothing more than a conduit to your primary computer and if it’s lost, stolen or destroyed you have lost nothing more than a machine. All of your valuable data will be safe on your desktop computer.
In my opinion, from a cost and technical point of view, this should be the first option most ACT! users explore.
Yeap… works fine until it doesn’t. What if your office is in the US, you are in Europe and your office computer crashes? And…, of course, there is no one there to restart this darn machine.
I would use GoToMyPC.
