I don't really understand why the previous two reviewers have written what they have written. Mozy is a great product, and is extremely cheap for what you get. I love it, and with the latest release (1.3.1), it is now (finally) extremely stable. It no longer hogs CPU resources, and is much more reliable at completing backups than ever before. I can definitely recommend this product. I have been using it for nearly two years now, since the early days of the Mac beta. Yes, there is still some room for improvement in the software itself, but the service is excellent.
In response to Fyreflye, you can choose a free 2GB account or a pay for an Unlimited account. And it really IS unlimited. I currently have over 100GB backed up for $4.95/month, a real bargain.
And in response to Benjo, 12% of 60GB is fairly good for two days. Firstly, your upload speed is going to be crap - nothing like your upload speed - it's just the way internet connections are. And secondly, Mozy actually cap the upload rate to 1.0Mbps (much more than most people's internet connections are capable of). Not to worry though: when Mozy restarts the backup, it doesn't have to upload what it has already done. Despite the fact it looks like it has gone back to 0%, it's actually 0% of the remainder.
