	How do I access files from a Mac ?
	IBackup allows for access from Macintosh platforms. Files can be accessed in many ways, even dragged and dropped, using Goliath or OS X's default webdav support or FTP. You can also use IBackup's browser based QManager to browse and share the files using any standard browser. For details, please see: http://www.ibackup.com//ibwin/newibackup/webdav_goliath_new.htm IBackup strongly recommend that you use Stuffit to compress the files before you transfer them to IBackup accounts, either using FTP or Goliath.

	How do I FTP from Mac to my IBackup account ?
	Your online backup/storage IBackup account can be accessed using FTP on the Mac platform. Suggested FTP Clients are Fetch and Transmit.

	How do I drag and drop files from a Mac ?

	How do I schedule online backups on Mac OS platform ?
	We recommend Retrospect express, an excellent backup scheduling application for the Mac platform that is compatible with FTP and IBackup accounts are compatible with any FTP client. For more details on Retrospect Express, please click here.

	What are the limitations of default webdav client on MacOS X ?
	The default webdav client has the following limitations: 1. Inability to transfer large files. 2. Lack of SSL support for transfer of files and folders between your IBackup account and your local machine. Goliath is recommended for transfer of large files as well as its SSL support for MacOS X.

	How do I transfer files between PC and Mac ?
	IBackup strongly recommends use of compression using Stuffit for transferring files between Windows and Mac platforms. In addition Stuffit resolves compatibility issues related to some special Mac file types.

	Do file icons on your storage system look exactly like the icons on my mac and Can files be opened directly from your disk ?
	For this, you need to mount the ibackup account on Mac OS X. This is possible only with OS X. Select the Connect to Server command from the Finder (Finder, GO, Connect to Server) or press Command K. Within the Connect to Server window, type in the name of the IBackup's url to your account. Ex: http://webdav.ibackup.com/users/mjohn/Files . Replace 'mjohn' with your username.
