So, if worried about the tunnel being compromised then file-based encryption rather than volume based would definitely be the way to go.

I used to have that problem with BT, seen a couple of issues that cause it. Are you having problems when transferring files over LAN or WAN?

In what way? The only problem I see with my plan is that synchronization would only occur while the volume is mounted. If the volume is unmounted the sync would simply fail to find it's destination. If the objective is to have encrypted files staying synchronized between locations then file-based rather than volume-based encryption would be the way to go.

If I remember correctly the TrueCrypt volume is an encrypted virtual disk that mounts to a folder or drive letter. If this is the case you would probably want to aim BTSync at the mount point rather than the virtual disk file.

Have you tried setting it up as a service?

The company I work for has 32 satellite locations and no real servers anywhere but HQ. We recently shipped out a set of identical computers, one to each location, so I snuck a 1TB drive into all of them to store "local" copies of large installers like Office. Just after they shipped I happened to run across BTSync, so I took remote control of the computers at satellite locations and used BTSync as a service to keep my satellite install shares synchronized with our main install share here at the HQ. Finished the first "test" system on Friday, added a second system today and it's pulling data from both "original" locations as it should, even with the satellites setup in read only.

Command line options for the Windows client so new sync folders can be added from psexec.

I saw this mentioned briefly in step 6 but I completely overlooked it so I figured I would go into details based on information I found the hard way. BTSync stores all configuration files under: NT5 (Windows XP/Server 2003/Server 2003r2): "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\BitTorrent Sync" NT6 (Windows Vista/7/8/Server 2008/Server 2008r2/Server 2012): "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent Sync" This means all BTSync settings are user-specific. By default the installation method mentioned here runs the service using the LocalSystem account. Because there is no way to log in to LocalSystem it is impossible to configure BTSync under the LocalSystem account. To get the service to work properly you must log in with a named account, configure the application, then set the service to log in using that named account. For example, if you are using a computer on a domain: 01) Create an account on the domain controller for the BTSync service 02) Log into the computer you will be running the service on using the BTSync account 03) Install BTSync and setup your shares 04) Exit BTSync, install the service as detailed in the first post and verify it can be started 05) Open Services.msc, stop the BTSync service and open the BTSync service properties 06) Click the Log On tab 07) Select the "This account:" bullet 08) Enter the fully qualified user name 09) Enter the password for this account 10) Save changes and start the service with the new settings Tested this Friday night, works like magic.
