As Roland suggested btsync - your own private bit torrent sync - is worthy
of consideration. 

Also consider "owncloud" it's like self hosting your own dropbox service.

Both of these offer near real time synchronization. You can also set them to
not delete files deleted on another box so a rm -rf won't cause a cascading 
disaster.
