Mozy Online Backup: Free. Automatic. Secure.
Posted on July 22, 2007 by Ben Cecka
Backing up data is something that we all need, most of us think about, and only a few actually do. Last year I was trying to find a simple solution for backing up many different remote locations, as well as home and office PC’s, without setting up some convoluted (and bandwidth intensive) FTP server that probably couldn’t handle the data anyways. What I found was Mozy Online Backup. (Yes, this is a referral link. You and I will both get more free storage space by using it — nothing more.)
Basically, you sign up for free, install it, and it monitors your files and uploads them in an encrypted format to their data center, currently in Salt Lake City. Its default backup sets probably work for most users, but if you want more control you can easily fine-tune the sets to your liking. I’ve been using it for almost an entire year now in testing and I can say without a doubt that I’ll soon be moving to their pro version with our corporate systems.
