MirrorSyncを使用してFileMaker Cloudと同期する方法
FileMaker Cloud でホストされている FileMaker のソリューションも、ミラーシンクで同期することができます。ミラーシンク 3.1 以降で対応しています。現在のバージョンは4.0で、FileMaker Cloudと互換性があります。(記事執筆 2017/11/03 17:00)
FileMaker Cloudは、Amazon Webサービス(AWS)を活用して、FileMakerソリューションをクラウドでホストします。多くの人々は、サーバーのメンテナンス時間と費用を削減するためにクラウドに移行しています。私たちは360Worksは、AWSの大ファンで 、ホスティングのすべてをAWSに移しましたが、それだけでは幸せにはなれませんでした。
360Worksの社長、Jesse Barnumは、2016年のFileMaker Developers Conferenceで、FileMaker ServerをAWSと共にデプロイするというトピックについてセッションを担当しました。

COR016 - Deploying FileMaker Server with Amazon Web Services EC2 - Jesse Barnum セッション資料 https://community.filemaker.com/docs/DOC-7446Getting started with MirrorSync for FileMaker Cloud is extremely simple: There's nothing to install and only a couple of steps to get up and running!
Step 1: Host MirrorSync Elsewhere
You will need to run MirrorSync on a separate computer from your FileMaker Server, because FileMaker Cloud does not allow the installation of 3rd party software other than plug-ins (MirrorSync is not a plug-in).
Once you've launched your FileMaker Cloud instance, 360Works can host MirrorSync on a managed AWS server for just $29 a month. There are several other approved hosting providers willing to host MirrorSync as well (see documentation). Alternatively, knowledgeable Linux administrators can host on their own Linux instance with Amazon Web Services.
Step 2: Enable xDBC
Because there is no XML Web Publishing Engine with FileMaker Cloud, you must enable incoming access (to port 2399) on your FileMaker Cloud instance in order for MirrorSync to communicate with it using xDBC. You can do this in the AWS console, follow along with this short video:
