Back up software to copy newest routes to tablet/Raspberry Pi

[GHA]

Nothing obvious coming up in google....
So what's wanted >
Piece of software on windows/linux where you click a user set up option, like 'sync laptop with Pi & tablet', then the software gets into the Pi/tablet over wifi , FTP or SFTP, looks at which files are newest in a directory, like opencpn, and overwrites the files in the destination. Plenty NAS options, sftp seems easier though.

Then, after creating the perfect route on opencpn on the laptop, transfering to the tablet/Pi would be a click away, same for syncing music collection and keeping routes/waypoints.tracks synched up.
Wouldn't that be nice

What OS does the laptop run?

On Windows look at Sync back from twobrightsparks, or write a script to use winscp?

Ta, completely forgot about winscp, might need to look at scripts. Though rsync on the Pi looks promising, it's always on so would make sense to be in control, if I could get into the laptop from linux...

Rsync should be able to do what you need but you might need samba to talk to a Windows pc.

Rsync is the linux command for backingup. There are quite a few GUIs to make it easier to use.

You can run rsync under WSL in Windows, if that helps.

Ta, Rsync & samba installed, just need a few more days on google to get into windows from linux!

And after a bit of time on google, mounted a shared windows file in /mnt/windows and can rsync to that, so looks like we're in!

mkdir /mnt/windows
mount -t cifs -o user=your-windows-username //10.10.10.10/Share /mnt/windows

Or on my case ..
sudo mount -t cifs -o user="windows user name" //"windows machine name"/aa /mnt/windows
