Idem software enables automated synchronization and replication of files, while ensuring preservation of Macintosh filenames and structures, even when stored on a Windows platform.

Idem checks a list of source folders at regular time intervals, and updates target folders with new or modified files. This software can be used to create a mirror for disaster recovery or to backup files. It offers a variety of ways to synchronize data. You can use Idem to synchronize a laptop on a network or for real-time mirroring of folders on ZIP drive, CD-RW, removable hard disk, network drives, local hard disk.
What's more, Idem 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 as MacServerIP. It can even check and copy the files and folders security informations (ACL permissions - access-control lists on NTFS partitions) and the files and folders attributes (hidden, system, archive, etc.).
Idem is compatible with Open File Handler (Swat Consulting Inc.) in order to mirror opened files on Windows NT. It also works with WebDrive (RiverFront). In association with WebDrive, Idem allows you to replicate files using FTP protocol (in order to update mirror Web sites for example).
Finally, Idem can be installed as a Windows NT/2000 Service and provides a report log with the list of files updated during synchronization tasks. This software is a must-have for anyone who wants to secure their important data and ensure its availability.
