Hello, everyone! I run a tech support company, and have been using Dolibarr for about the last eight months. I have been running it on top of the Bitnami WAMP Stack and use it for all of my invoicing and customer/prospect management. This server runs on my laptop, which I always have when I’m out in the field so I can whip out invoices as needed. However, I’d like to know if there is a way to sync two Dolibarr installations. I run a similar server at my home office, and would like to have it synchronize with my laptop’s installation of Dolibarr when I come home in the evenings, that way I have a standalone backup or a redundancy in case something happens to my laptop. Is this possible, or is there a module that will allow me to do this? So far, I have just been exporting all of my invoices as PDFs and then, using a script I wrote, syncing my invoice folder on my laptop with the one on my server, but I’d like something a little more robust. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help or insight you can give.
Copying your invoice PDF is not enough. You must backup also your database (see Backup on wiki.dolibarr.org)
There is no tools to sync 2 dolibarr. Best way to use it on different places is to have your dolibarr hosted on a server like with commercial solutions available on https://saas.dolibarr.org
I do host my own Dolibarr installation on my company’s webserver, but I often work in remote areas where internet is not available or is unreliable. I suppose I will have to either continue looking for a solution or program my own. Thank you for the information.
Hi. If you need database sync only, and you have control of both instalations of Dolibarr, there are options
on replication master-slave of databases, if using MySql. I never used it, but docimentation is available.

Eduardo.
Thank you for your response, Eduardo. I have done replication of MySQL databases in the past, but had not considered it for this application until you mentioned it. I may try that this evening and see if that will pose a possible solution. If nothing else, I would at least have a complete copy of the database if I ever needed to reinstall.
Look into this as well:
Hi,
For Doli you need two things :
1- Database
2- Document folder
Then you have two choices :
1- sync
2- backup
The choice will depend on how many times per month you want to access to Doli on your work server.
