But Dropbox does both. It mirrors a local directory in the cloud so you always have a local copy of your file and a another in the cloud. I have my Dropbox on four machines all the time so that if I make a change anywhere it's changed everywhere almost instantly. I keep all my current projects in my Dropbox so I can painlessly move between machines. The Dropbox directory is also backed up by Time Machine from two of the Macs. Another option: if you're just looking for cloud backups, Arq looks like the way to go.
