Mozy Reviewer's Comments

Mozy isn’t so much an online storage service as it is an online backup service. This is a great option if you just want to backup your important data and protect it online in case of an emergency. Furthermore, the subscription is budget-friendly at just $4.95 a month for unlimited backup space.

After downloading the Mozy application, Mozy scans your computer and selects and recommends files to backup. You can uncheck any of the files to choose to not back them up. Our recommended backup used 122.7% of the 2 GB of free space.

You can set automatic backups and choose to upload your important files each time your computer is not in use, daily or weekly. You can also choose to reduce resource usage when your computer is in use so the backup won’t bog down your system.

With Mozy, you can easily restore your files from their secure storage. Restore your files to any computer with an Internet connection as many times as you'd like, regardless of whether or not the computer has the Mozy application installed.

The Mozy interface is simple to navigate so anyone can use the service to protect their important files. The drive is setup just like a hard drive so you can easily find the files you want to restore and save.

Mozy is ideal if you're just looking for a service to backup your important data in case of a natural disaster, virus or your computer crashes. This probably isn’t the best service if you want an online storage service that will host your files, or if you want to easily share your files with others.
