MozyHome is an online backup service. It keeps a backup copy of your files in one of our data centers. If you lose your original files, you can get a copy of them from Mozy.

Mozy is not a file sharing or archiving service. Other people will not be able to download your files. If you delete an original file on your computer, Mozy assumes that you no longer need a backup copy and will remove it from our servers after 30 days.

What's New
Version 2.5.1:
  • Mac OS X 10.5 users - An autoupdate issue affecting users running Mac OS X 10.5.x has been resolved in this release. If you have previously attempted to autoupdate and have experienced issues, you will need to install the this release manually. Once you have applied the update, autoupdate on subsequent releases will work correctly.
  • Improved the messaging in the Encryption Settings window on using Personal Key Encryption to clearly show the advantages and disadvantages.
  • Modified Welcome page during install to provide a list of the resources available to assist you during install, activation, and configuration.
  • Added the Decrypt Utility to the advanced options menu to make it more accessible. To open the Decrypt Utility right-click the backup icon in the menu bar and select Open Decrypt.
  • Added the ability to configure a subdomain by adding the /subdomain switch to the auth command in the CLI.
  • Added support for an automated silent uninstall in the CLI. Note: For additional details on using the new switches and the CLI, refer to the Administrators Guide.
  • Added a notification when Data Shuttle is inserted to inform the user that the drive was recognized and is formatting the drive for use.
  • Modified the notification message when nearing the usage limit. Users will receive notification at 10% left of quota and have the option to dismiss. The message will not be displayed again until 5% and 2% storage capacity remaining.
  • Added support for Server Key Chain in the Suggested Files/Folders (backup set) menu. The Backup Set includes any key chains in the /Network/Library/Keychains folder when this option is selected.
  • The Virtual Machine backup set has been updated. The default search location in Where to Search has been changed from /Documents to no specified location to ensure that all virtual machines are included in the backup regardless of where they are saved.

Support can be much better! I asked them to stop the automatic renewal of the subscription! They simply answered they cannot! On my further question why they cannot they didn't even answer!

I noticed this in the readme file:

"Mozy may protect you from a zombie invasion in a post-apocalyptic environment."

Can someone elaborate on this feature? I come across zombies all the time in the workplace, while I'm out shopping, and on Facebook, and I'm wondering if this might also be useful in dealing with them?

great concept - using it to back up 2 Macs (MBP & Mac MIni - including the full itunes lib) and one Windows machine.

The initial backup takes quite a while; but once done you don't feel the thing is running.

Backup's and transfer is encrypted.

Strongly recommend

1 - all given links here are dead, no immediate download, mozy.com asks to register first.

2 - I used mozy after very positive reviews in german c't – over a year, but ended in zero support (stability issues). My account has vanished. Actually mozy.com attempts to trick the user in a payed model – I got an ad-mail a few days ago saying 'why don't you come to backup all your data for a monthly 6$' - that doesn't exist at all (no flat).

3 - https://mozy.de/home/download gives links for downloads, but not for the version announced here...

-> Stay away.


PS: Rating (stars) here in MU was much simpler before...

I've been using Mozy for over a year, and it was generally working very well. My subscription is good for another years, but I will certainly not extend it now after the new prices came out. In my case, I backup a modest 160GB, and the new price would be more than three times higher than now.
One other thing I noticed a few days ago, and which I suspect to have happened "on purpose": I got an error that a required file was missing, and after Mozy resumed it showed me that it had to upload many GB of Data. I was suspicious, looked into what happened, and saw that the backup set now EXcluded my folders with photos and videos. Which for me was around 100GB of important information that was now EXcluded from backup. Basically exactly the data why I have bought an online backup solution.
I have heard that at least one other person had exactly the same "problem". So, guys, check your backup sets in the Mozy home program, and manually INclude your important data again.

I cannot go into details but someone gave me informations that mozy one lost a complete set of customers backups. And they never gave that information out to the affected customers. So everyone thought to be a single case. Clever.. but not very honest.

Well, I've used Mozy for about 3 years and I've been happy with it. Now, with the new pricing scheme, it's going to cost me about $220 per year and that doesn't include any room for expansion. With Carbonite bing $56 a month, and with the performance, features, and ease being very equal between the two services, I certainly won't be staying. Honestly, I don't know why anyone would stay. True, uploading all of your data again will suck, but not as much as paying 4 or 5 times as much each month.

Mozy, you've been good, but now you're even better... for Carbonite!

I just received this in my mail box:

————————————————

Thanks for being a valued Mozy subscriber. For the first time since 2006, we’re adjusting the price of our MozyHome service and wanted to give you a heads up. As part of this change, we’re replacing our MozyHome Unlimited backup plan and introducing the following tiered storage plans:

50 GB for $5.99 per month (includes backup for 1 computer)
125 GB for $9.99 per month (includes backup for up to 3 computers)

You may add additional computers (up to 5 in total) or 20 GB increments of storage to either of the plans, each for a monthly cost of $2.00.

————————————————

I normally never take the time to respond to things like these but this time I just have to:

Wow! That's a 360% price increase in my case.
That just doesn't make any sense — especially after what you put your customers through when you had those serious technical issues recently!

I've never experienced anything like this before!

I'm off!
Good luck to you and your company!

I've used Mozy for the last two years and have had a great experience. The free 2 GB account will backup the majority of you docs aside from music and photos.

The developers are very quick to address support issues.
