iBackup question for Mac

Anyone know anything about the online backup system iBackup for Mac? I installed it -went online to upload folders only to find out that the mac doesn't support the webfolders. I also used Firefox browser and the same thing. Should I be doing something different or does anyone know of a good reliable online backup system I can look at?

iMAC OS X, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hi BDAqua, yes, I installed the interface for iBackup for Mac. The same one from the link you sent. But for some reason, I cannot upload my folders and to upload one file at a time is too time consuming. Carbonite doesn't blend with the Mac and I don't know of any others. Do you?

Hmmm, a possible workaround...

Right click on the Folder you wish to backup, choose Archive, send the resultant .zip file which includes everything in the Folder as well as the folder.

FYI - iDrive ad iBackup are the same folks. They both do not support a lot of features for the Mac. I don't know why they say iDrive for Mac because it only backup some of your files and you cannot utilize a lot of the other features. I contacted them and they said they are working on enhancing the features for the Mac. Go figure. So I am cancelling my subscription with them. I need a complete backup. Just FYI.
