Mozy – Online Backup

When it comes to backups, there is no better way to backup your files than sending them to the cloud. Mozy is a small application that runs silently in your task bar. You select the files or folders that you want to back up and Mozy starts the upload. The initial upload may take couple hours, days or even weeks depending on the amount of data you want to back up. You can set the schedule for Mozy to back up only when your computer on idle for 20 minutes or only at night and select the hour. It offers a great flexibility and a lot of options. At around $5 per month, it just does not get any better.

After the initial backup is completed, Mozy will monitor your system for changes in your files. For example if new file appears in your “Pictures” folder, Mozy will automatically add it to your “Pictures” folder in the cloud. If you are concerned about security, Mozy offers 128-bit SSL encryption so your files are save, you can also select 448-bit Blowfish encryption to add even more protection… no, there is no extra charge for that.

For only $4.95 you can rest assured that your data is always save. I highly recommend it.
