Most of us know that we should back up regularly, but how many of us actually do it? This service from Mozy.com takes some of the pressure off. I have been using this for quite a while now and it just sits there in the background and does it’s job quietly. So what does it actually do I hear you ask, well it backs up your data from your computer onto a service on the Internet so that if your data is inaccessible (broken hard disk, stolen computer etc) you can recover your data and keep on working.
There are two levels of service, Mozy Home aimed at users with one machine to backup and Mozy Pro for users with multiple machines to back up. The Mozy Home service costs US$4.95 per month with unlimited data storage, they also offer 2GB of storage for free (yes you can backup up to 2GB of data online for free – so what is your excuse now?). The Mozy Pro service starts at US$3.95 + US$0.50 per GB per month. Both services offer various encryption options to secure your data.
The service works equally well on both Mac & Windows and offers online management tools.
To get an additional 256MB of storage use my Promo Code (DG7MB7).
