it’s no secret i work @ mozy and so it comes w/o saying if you aren’t backing up your family photo’s, muzak and other important data then you are crazy! it’s a no brainer; because of the sheer amount of data we collect and generate data loss is inevitable. for $5 bucks a month you can backup an unlimited amount data online.
it’s simple, after signup install either mozy for windows or mac, select which files you want protected (we even create convenient backup sets that collect all your files by type), set when you want the backup to run and it’s that simple.
if you need to restore your files from mozy you can either select the files & directories from within the client or you can login to mozy.com and select your files from the web.
worried about security? don’t worry you can select a personal encryption key and all transfers are done over an SSL connection.
i love mozy, i love working at mozy and the product is only getting better!
i won’t lie to you there are some things that drive me nutz about mozy, so here they are:
- no phone support for home users (i understand the margins are small in this business, so we can’t offer phone support).
- upload speeds are slower than normal b/c we encode your files w/ our secret sauce that will bloat your files 25%.
- crazy error messages that don’t even make sense to me.
- need simpler interface
all these things are actively being worked on … and much much more! mozy is AWESOME, if you don’t believe me try it out for free w/ a 2GB account.
