At least the old reviewer's guide reads like this. But the term "background upload" in the Group Policy setting supports your view.

So this is rather a method of backing up a user's registry data than a synchronization mechanism between multiple running session. Please see my article on the subject and especially the update at the bottom: http://blogs.sepago.de/helge/2009/04/02/microsoft-tackles-the-last-writer-wins-problem-of-roaming-profiles-in-windows-7-server-2008-r2/ Hi Michael,
