I am very interested in how to set this up. I looked in the unison manual a while ago while I checked out dropbox. It didn't mention about this capability...

Just search for "backup" in the manual of unison.

I haven't used that feature myself, but otherwise I'm a happy unison user (for a brief time even under windows) and except for the speed sometimes I wouldn't know why I would need any other (external) service.
