Yesterday I needed to set up an automatic backup system for files on 2 Windows servers. I figured out that Windows Live Sync might be good for—synchronizing files (well, yes 😛 ). And as I never tested Sync thoroughly yet, I figured out this was a good chance. After some doubtful moments because I didn’t know if Live Sync would run on a 64-bit Windows (Messenger officially doesn’t), I was surprised by a really quick installation.
I tried to add the complete folder to synchronize, but all I got was this message:
Oh snap! Why did nobody tell me about a 20,000 files limit? Well, in the end I could work around it by adding several folders to Sync, leaving out the ones that never change anyways, but… in my opinion this limit is useless. My current hope is that Wave 4 will remove the limit.
And when we’re about enhancing Windows Live Sync: Browsing for a folder to synchronize is a pain. Some AJAX would surely speed it up.
By the way: Windows Live Sync is now compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Did you test Sync yet? What do you think about it?
I started by searching for a beta for a 64-bit version of Windows Messenger and found this:

You should get linked to a download for this file: Install_WLMessenger.msi
Worked for me. Good luck.
Hello mcizek,
You are right: Installing Messenger on x64 works best when using the direct MSI installation. However, you might need additional installers for “Windows Live Contacts” and “Segoe UI.” On Windows Vista and Windows 7 x64, Messenger can install with the normal EXE installer.

Did you try not syncing to your Skydrive, and only syncing between the two servers? I know with Live Mesh that seems to be working pretty well…
