I am wanting to create a backup folder on our server were peoples documents will be saved but I need it to run in Real-Time so that for example when they save a document into their folder, it would automatically be copied onto the server.
I have figured out that Microsoft have something built into Windows called "Folder Redirection" but this seems like a very complicated process and it looks like it will copy your whole My Documents directory onto the server. The problem with that is we have around 50 employees so that would require a lot of disk space. Plus it actually redirects the directory onto the server which means that if the server is down for whatever reason, they would not be able to access their documents.

I have had a look on the internet and there seems to be programs like Mirror Folder and the likes, my questions is has anybody used these programs or have any other suggestions on what to use.

I quite like the idea of using something built into Windows already, but if that is not possible then I would need to either purchase some software or find another way of doing it.
