I just lost a disk in my PC and was able to restore over 56GB of data which included 8 years of pictures and all our music, personal and other data. Thanks, Mozy. You guys provide an incredible service.

I submitted a support request yesterday (Friday) evening and got a really well-written response *that solved my problem* from Jayanth the same evening. Now *that's* good support! I wasn't expecting support over the weekend; nice surprise! I'm very glad to see that Mozy isn't skimping on customer support, as many companies seem to do. In this case, it was excellent; I couldn't have been happier with this experience! This makes me even happier and more confident to recommend the service to others.

So Far So Good
Pros: Runs fine and does what it is suppose to do.
Cons: None at the moment, have only had a one week so I have nothing to complain about yet.
Summary: It works well.

MozyPro the best. I?e tested all the different online backup solutions and at the time Mozy was a new company and their client was in beta however I stuck with them and glad I did. I am now a reseller and have 10 businesses and all of them love it. Go and check them out. I get e-mail alerts every time a business doesn? upload so their service is great.

Just FYI - I use mozy and have never had a problem - I actually needed a restore once and I got it within 3 hours from when I requested it. It also backs up my external hard drives if they are connected at the time of back up.

I? recommend Mozy @ $5 a month. I?e been running it for 6 months and I almost forget it? there, but it? cheap insurance.

I?e been using Mozy for a few years now and love it. Backups aside, it is so nice to be in an office, realize I needed the source code I worked on a while back, go up to mozy? site, and bring down the entire project folder.

Outstanding free online backup service with enterprise-class features. Not an online storage service, but a complete backup solution?oth the application and service are very impressive.

I've been using Mozy for about 10 days. I started with some experiments using the free 2GB version and within days upgraded to the fee-based 5GB version. The verdict? It just works. It does what it claims to do in the background with no fuss and no drama. I emailed Berkeley Data Systems support with one question and got a reply within 24 hours and that was on a weekend so I'm impressed with that. I've also signed my Dad up via the referral scheme and his experience is the same as mine ... it just works.
Oddly enough for something that should be boring (a backup solution that runs in the background), I'm pretty excited about this solution. I have it set up to initiate a backup pretty much as soon as I step away from the keyboard (I have it on 10 minute idle-time threshold) so, subject to it never running a backup within 2 hours of the last one, I only have a 2 hour window of vulnerability for any little change I make to files in My Documents. (I do run other full overnight backups so I think of Mozy as a safety net rather than my only backup.)
Finally, the initial backup can be lengthy (mine ran for about 36 hours with interuptions) but is very unobtrusive while running. I didn't notice it at all while web surfing, doing email and some OpenOffice stuff and I even held an hour long conference call via my VOIP phone while Mozy was doing the initial backup (I forgot Mozy was running when I scheduled the call) and the voice quality was unaffected, it was perfect throughout the call!

I am using this for my store. (NON ESS FILES ONLY) I have been now for 2 months, I have to tell you, I am VERY impressed. Backup/Restore is easy. Being BETA I expected a few problems, so far just will not run as schedualed. I have to do the manual backup. I would like to see a ?yncronise feature to show what needs to be backed up. If the BETA is what the final product will be, ie:2 gig free, then we FINALY have a NO EXCUSE system for data backup. After the BETA if final, I plan on buying more drive space. I like the idea of having an offsite data backup

I've used this Remote Backup one 3 computers for several months now and I love it! With 2G of free space and as much as 20G for a small annual fee, this is an awesome and effortless addition to my disaster and recovery solution. I installed the software, configured the interface to backup the files and directories of my choice and forgot about it. I recommend this to anyone looking for a remote backup solution.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Staples charged me $80 to backup my files when they replaced my hard drive. They backed nothing up! I found it all and was able to replace it from my FREE Mozy backups. Income tax return, financial records, resumes. Thank you SOOO much Mozy!
