How it works
With this tools you can simply download galleries (incuded with category, group and sponsor definition) from any another ST master instalation. Sync remember last biggest galleryID and check if does not exists (newer) galleries with bigger ID. It compare category,sponsor and group names (into which belongs gallery), if they do not exists it will create them (+ group must have same size definition).
Sync functionality require special crontab entry:
/your_path/php /your_path/st/admin/services.php domain 1 --replicate
For test you can try sync it over browser (in this case will be better to set smaller Download batch or your sync could end in browser with timeout):
http://www.yourdomain.com/st/admin/services.php?domain_id=1&action=replicate
