<a href='http://www.ibackup.com/IBDrive_new.htm'>IDrive</a> enables you to map the IBackup online storage account as a local drive on your computer. You can then drag-n-drop, edit and save files in your online backup account using IDrive. Another advantage of using an IBackup account is that the `Mirror path’ option in IBackup for Windows enables you to maintain the exact directory structure of files or folders selected for backup from your computer.
Is this realtime mirroring?

With my Unison script I simply run it from a batch script that does:

1. Check local version vs online version and propogate any changes.
2. Run UR and wait for it tot exit.
3. Once it exits repeat step 1.

Works well for me. Realtime mirroring would be better though (depending on speed). Do not attempt to run UR from a mapped drive (even a mapped LAN let alone a mapped ftp-type drive) since it will be VERY slow.
