Idem software simplifies file synchronization and replication while retaining filenames and structures of Macintosh files when saved on Windows machines.

This versatile solution is specifically designed for mirroring important folders from a Windows NT/W2K server toward another device or server. With regular time intervals, it checks a list of source folders and updates target folders with new or modified files. This makes it a great tool for creating a backup or mirror for disaster recovery.
Idem is very user-friendly, and it is incredibly effective for synchronizing a laptop on a network. It is also ideal for real-time mirroring of folders on several devices such as ZIP drives, CD-RWs, removable hard disks, network drives, and local hard disks. Additionally, it fully preserves Macintosh filenames and structures stored on a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server running MacFile/SFM (Services for Macintosh) or a MacFile/SFM compatible server such as MacServerIP.
Files and folders security information and attributes are crucial, and Idem is designed to check and copy them effectively. It can copy ACL permissions (access-control lists on NTFS partitions) and file and folder attributes such as hidden, system, archive, etc.
One of the most impressive features of Idem is its compatibility with other software applications such as Open File Handler (Swat Consulting Inc.) in order to mirror opened files on Windows NT and WebDrive (RiverFront). In association with WebDrive, Idem allows users to replicate files using FTP protocol, which is great for updating mirror websites, among other tasks.
Idem can be installed as a Windows NT/2000 Service, and it provides a complete log report with the list of files updated during synchronization tasks. Overall, Idem is an exceptional software solution that is capable, reliable, and user-friendly.
