Mozy - Reliable back-up - no need for any additional hardware

Bookmark and Share Subscribe to this blog

Reliable back-up without the need for an external hard drive from a company called "Mozy."
Up to 2 GB free or $4.95 per month for unlimited storage.
It's very customizable for those able and inclined to play around a little, but pretty straightforward for the uninitiated as well.

(From a preliminary comparison Carbonite might be a little easier to use - I haven't tried it - but Mozy has many more features)

I use it and it seems to work very well.

Here's their homepage:

Here's a screenshot of Mozy doing a back-up. (Below)
As you can see there's a lot of potential for customization - e.g. the sliding control on the bottom which defines how much bandwidth Mozy uses during back-ups.


Thanks to Ted R. for this info.

When I went to Mozy, I only saw the $4.95/month option. How do you get the 2GB/free option?

Go to: https://mozy.com/registration/free

Alternatively, at the Mozy homepage (https://mozy.com/home) look on the left side, there's a box which says "2 GB of 100% free backup space. No setup fee, no credit cards, no monthly payments, no expiration." Click it.
