Review

Mozy is a great service for personal use or people looking for inexpensive online backup.

The backup procedure went very well but the file restore procedure took some time. Typically when you need a file restored you need it right then and are not interested in waiting.

Review

I had trouble from the start - backups not going to their server, file retrieval failed. It never seemed to work properly. And when I contacted support, I was ignored. No response to my e-mails, no one answers their phone (kept getting voice mail). AVOID THEM. I'm trying Backblaze, hope they do a better job.
