Are iPad backups and iPhone backups stored separately?

I backup Mantis on my iPhone so the info is not lost. If I backup my iPad (which does not have the same bookmarks) to the Mantis server, will the iPhone backup be corrupted (bookmarks lost)?

Not an issue, just a question seeking information.

Backups are indeed stored on a per-device basis, so you can't just backup then restore on a different device. However, if you email us a request, we will be happy to copy your backup file from one device to another. Just be very clear about which device you want us to copy FROM and TO.

Does having you folks copy a backup file from one device to another allow the devices to be "synched" in some manner? I have both an iPhone and an iPad. I would like to have my notes, bookmarks, etc... mirrored on both devices regardless of which device I make changes to. Sometimes I work on my iPhone and sometimes I work on my iPad. Is there any way to achieve this type of "synching" solution?

Not at this time, no.

Is it possible to "sync" both/all devices using the "local server" function? (or will it still create unique backups)

The local server option will allow you to download and upload your notes, so it is possible to transfer notes from one device to another using this method, although we don't recommend it.
