About Mozy
Mozy is an online backup tool that allows both Windows and Mac users to back up their data to an off-site server. While originally released as a product for end-users, Mozy later released a remote backup utility for businesses, MozyPro.
With the free version of Mozy, a user can back up as much as 2 GB of data from up to two computers (referring others to Mozy gives free users an additional 0.25 GB of storage space). The paid version allows unlimited backups from one computer. Mozy has the ability to back up several types of files such as bookmarks, documents, and e-mails at once rather than forcing the user to select particular files or folders.
As an online backup service, Mozy keeps a secondary copy of your files in secure data centers. If you lose your primary file copy via file corruption, accidental deletion, or hardware failure, Mozy allows you to obtain the secondary copy.
Mozy was founded in 2005, is located in Pleasant Grove, Utah and is part of Decho Corporation.
Mozy’s main beliefs:
• You shouldn't have to think about backup.
Backup should be set up once, and then work automatically.
• Your files should be encrypted.
Your backup files should be encrypted and stored in a secure, remote location that's only accessible to you — from anywhere.
• Your backups should be smart.
Your backup system should be smart enough to only back up data that's not already been backed up, only back up parts of a file that have changed, and be able to back up open and locked files.
