Mozy Version 2 for Windows Review

Mozy Promotional Code — Tue, 18 May 2010 17:41:30 +0000

I have been lucky enough to be using the new Mozy version 2 for Windows client for a little while now and I am very pleased with the new features that Mozy has added.

The feature that has impressed me the most so far is the new local backup option. I have always maintained a local backup of my data but now with the new Windows client it is possible to maintain both a local backup and an online backup using just the Mozy client. I no longer have to schedule my local backup using the Windows Scheduler using either xcopy batch files or Microsoft’s Sync Toy. You will need an extra hard drive that is assigned a drive letter in Windows, this does mean that most external USB and Firewire drives will work and extra internal hard drives. Network storage drives will still be an issue however.

The new user interface is an improvement on the previous version as well. It gives you more information on what the client is currently doing. For those that do not want all the information it is turned off by default in the options, so you will not be overwhelmed. I turned it on so I could see what the client is up too.

The client is also considerably faster to upload data. While I have not sat and timed the upload speed I recently added 4gb of new photos and home videos to the computer and they were backed up easily over night. This often took over a day on my DSL connection. The Mozy blog claims it is 25% faster at uploading, I can believe it.

Overall the new Mozy for Windows version is an improvement on the previous version and I highly recommend you sign up for Mozy. It makes maintaining an online and local backup a breeze.

Mozy Helps Recover Stolen Laptop

I read an article the other day that could give you another fantastic reason to use Mozy to backup your laptop. The article was posted at BusinessWeek. The story goes that Damian Zikakis had his laptop stolen and promptly had it replaced. At some point he checked his Mozy account and discovered that files were being backed up that were not his. The thief had started to use the laptop and his photos and files were starting to be backed up. Eventually a document was backed up that contained the name and address of the where the thief lived. This information was then given to the police who were able to recover the stolen laptop. Mozy went from being able to jsut backup files to being able to recover a stolen laptop.

What more reasons do you need to try MozyHome Free or MozyHome Unlimited? Not saying that Mozy will help recover your laptop if it is stolen, but you never know, it might just be what you need to recover your hardware as well as restore your files.

You might have heard already that MozyPro for the Mac has been released to the public. It is still in beta, but from all accounts it is stable and worth looking into. I know several offices that are Mac online and they are always looking to have a backup solution, now they can. The best part is the MozyPro for Mac is as simple and easy to use as the regular MozyPro. Whether you have an office with both Windows PC’s and Macs or just Macs, not you can have the protection and peace of mind knowing that all of the files you work so hard on can be backed up no matter what platform you use. Now if only they had a Linux version.

I have been using MozyPro to backup my small business data for almost a year now. It has helped me survive a hard drive crash, accidentally deleting important files and has saved me many hours of work that could have all been lost if MozyPro had not been there running. I liked MozyPro so much for my own data backup that I became a reseller and started installing MozyPro to local businesses to backup their data. It is a great service that every small business should use to backup their data. Think about how much work you would lose if you lost the files from your latest project or worse all of your Quicken or Simply Accounting data! Think of the hours and hours of work it would take to restore it all. MozyPro can save your business from all that headache.

Mozy recently reduced the price of storage for the MozyPro server product from $1.75/GB to $.50/GB. Now you can have near continuous data backup for only $.50/GB. No more worrying if the backup script ran overnight, or forgetting to run your own backup everyday. MozyPro can take care of it all for you after an easy setup.
