Completely automated, doubly secure, feature-rich, and easy-as-heck to use,
Mozy is a true computer user-friendly online backup provider.
Mozy offers separate services for the home computer user and the business computer user, a FREE trial service that includes 2 gigs of backup with no expiration, and a new
Mozy Enterprise service for the complete corporate backup solution.
Unlike other online backup services, Mozy not only supports the newest versions of Windows (namely XP and Vista) but Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and 64-bit Windows too. MozyPro and MozyHome are also available for Mac users.
- Two service options – MozyHome for home users and MozyPro for business users
- MozyHomeFree – 2 GB FREE backup upon signup, with no setup fees, no monthly payments, no expiration, and no credit card required
- Open/locked file support – backs up files, even if they’re closed
- New and changed file detection – notices even the tiniest changes to the contents of your hard drive
- Block-level incremental backup – makes for faster backups by ignoring any unchanged files already backed up whenever performing new backups
- Scheduler – to set the times when performing backups will be most convenient for your schedule
- Mac compatible – Mozy just issued its Mac 1.0 release
- Web-based admin console – for MozyPro users, allows you to:
- Create sub-administrators
- View aggregate or individual account stats, history, and usage
- Change account status (disable, re-enable, or cancel)
- Reset passwords
- View licence keys and distribute as needed
- Customize configuration settings for individuals and groups
- Pre-built backup sets – for the most common file types
- Network drive and mapped drive support
A copy of all your data is backed up securely using 128-bit SSL encryption and stored securely using 448-bit Blowfish encryption in Mozy’s secure and remote location. MozyPro customers also get an optional private encryption key
MozyPro customers can choose whether to have automated backup while their computers are not in use, scheduled backups at specific days and times, or near continuous protection with backups performed every 2 hours. To ensure such backups don’t impede with normal operations and regular computer performance, you can use bandwidth throttling to dictate how much bandwidth can be used for backups while leaving the rest FREE for higher priority functions.
Using Mozy is a breeze. Just create your user account, download and install the Mozy software, and check off the files you wish to have backed up. That’s it!
You can even restore multiple versions of any file backed up in the last 30 days.
Mozy tech support is available via email 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Home users enjoy unlimited backups for $6.44 per month (which amounts to $77.22 per year). Phone support is also available for clients.
