sync - Synchronise changes to file system

I have a moderately-sized stash (~100GB) of music and photos (and other documents). I'd like to be able to keep (at least) two copies of the files in sync, without requiring that all the PCs be connected at the same time. Of course there are services like Dropbox, but they only sync a few GB at a time. I would like to keep the most recent (say) 5GB of new files in the cloud (and deletions, moves and renames too of course), and each time one of my PCs was connected, it would synchronise its changes with the cloud.


I realise this sounds a bit like Subversion, but I don't need version control - just synchronisation. It should also be cross-platform, as one system runs Windows 7 and one Ubuntu. Can it be done with rsync?
