Hi, so far I have not found any nice and useful software that can do this (I
mean with gui and so on)

The mentioned unison program failed the tests. May be rsync but not sure it
didn't do the things I wanted and I wanted to do it the way you can do it
in i.e. windows with some commercial software.

I was also thinking unison is just the right thing, but then I noticed it's
not really syncing like it should and leading to inconsistency.
