Best Uses For Mozy Backup: Automatic Backup, Backup To Cloud, Encrypt Backup, PC and Mac Compatible, Set File Permissions, Unlimited Storage
Product Description
You can think of it in the same way you think of a backup copy of a paper document-that is, if you lose the working copy of the paper document, you go find the backup copy. In other words, the primary copy of your files or data will be maintained as the working copy on your machine.
If you delete the working copy on your machine and then run a backup, Mozy will assume that you no longer need a backup copy, since you got rid of the working copy, and will mark the file to be removed from our system in 30 days. (We keep it on file for 30 days, just in case you change your mind.) After 30 days, you cannot get these files back.
Mozy is a simple, smart, and economic way to protect your data. You simply install it on your computer, set it up, and then never worry about data loss again.
Specifically, Mozy:
- Is simple to set up
- Performs backups automatically in the background
- Encrypts all files on your computer before transfer
- Performs incremental backups
- Backs up only blocks that have changed
- Backs up open/locked files
Mozy was made to back up your most important files (email, contacts, photos, financials, etc.), but not your system and application files, which are easy to restore via your original CDs.
For a typical system on a typical broadband line, Mozy backs up data at about 2-4 GB per day. But if left undisturbed on a fast connection, you can back up over 9 GB in a single day. Mozy does what are called differential backups, which means that it only backs up portions of your files that have changed since the last time they were backed up. This saves lots of time, bandwidth, and storage space. After your initial backup, subsequent backups are relatively quick, and chances are that you won't even notice them.

Create a MozyHome user account which will allow you to download MozyHome software. Its quick, easy and our step-by-step instructions will guide you through the process.

MozyHome downloads in just seconds, and the installation is simple and fast.
3. Select files to be backed up.
Simply check the boxes next to the backup sets, or types of files you want to back up, and MozyHome does the rest. In addition to selecting files by backup sets, you also have the option of selecting specific files and directories.
Open/locked file support: Mozy will back up your documents whether they're open or closed.
128-bit SSL encryption: The same technology used by banks secures your data during the backup process.
448-bit Blowfish encryption: Secures your files while in storage, providing peace of mind that your private data is safe from hackers.
Automatic: Schedule the times to back up and MozyHome does the rest.
New and changed file detection: MozyHome finds and saves the smallest changes.
Backs up Outlook files: Disaster-proof email protection.
Block-level incremental backup: After the initial backup, MozyHome only backs up files that have been added or changed, making subsequent backups lightning fast.
MozyHome Unlimited is for personal, non-commercial use only.

Editor's Review
Online backup has come a long way in recent years and is a great way for you to ensure that your photos, music, emails and other important documents are backed up in a safe and secure remote location. MozyHome Unlimited online backup is an award winning online backup solution for your important files. Mozy has made using MozyHome a simple three step process. Sign up, download the software, and then select the files you want backed up. MozyHome will do the rest and keep your files safe when and how you select.
Based on the number and size of the files you select to be backed up, the initial backup will take a bit of time but after that MozyHome will monitor for any file changes and just quickly backup the files that have been added or changed. Your files are encrypted when they are being transmitted and they are heavily encrypted where they are stored to keep your data safe and secure.
It does not get any easier than this to keep your important files and documents safe and secure from whatever the world throws at you and your computer.
