Mozy Online Document Backup

Wow. So How Can They Afford to Give It Away???

Finally: Reliable online document backup

I've been writing on a computer for over 20 years now. I think I've tried every kind of affordable backup there's been.

Shortcut to the details on
Mozy.

I've had data losses, and I've had experiences where I've lost an entire day's work (and I spend my whole day on the computer).

And with all of the above forms of backup, I learned that the time you're most likely to have your computer crash is when you're backing up.

(And of course, if you backup in the same location your computer is, a fire, theft or flood could take out your computer and your backup.)

No wonder most people just stop backing up! They know it's risky, but they know that the cheap fixes are often more dangerous than doing nothing at all.

Then online backup came along and I got excited. An affordable remote backup option! But, sure enough, the first service I tried was impossible to use and froze up my computer.

But then, along came Mozy.

Online document backup - and everything else

I saw the ads like you did. I got excited. These guys really wanted to do business! But I waited a couple weeks. I wanted to go online and Google to see what kind of experience their rush of new customers were having. I expected to encounter the usual rash of forum flames talking about how awful the service was and how many computers it destroyed.

But no! The feedback was overwhelmingly positive! I signed up. And I'll tell you a secret...

I signed up for the free service. Mozy gives you 2GB of totally free online backup.

That's right. Two full gigs. I'm backing up 20 years worth of documents, remotely, online, twice a day (including open documents) for free.

Now, maybe you have a lot of pictures, video and the like. In other words, more than 2 GB. Well, how does unlimited sound? That's just $4.95/month, with discounts if you sign up to pay for a year or two at a time.

Ease of use and customer service

Setting up online document backup with Mozy was a breeze for me. The initial settings worked fine, and there were no freeze-ups or anything. The next thing I knew, Mozy was silently backing up my docs twice a day.

But then, after about a year of use, I encountered an issue that I couldn't resolve on my own. I figured I was in deep doo-doo! After all, I was still using the free service.

Well, I decided, "What the heck," and contacted customer service by email. And get this...

I received prompt service and the right detailed advice to get my online document backup going again. And then, once the issue was resolved and I rudely didn't write back to say so, they wrote back to make sure everything was okay!

Are you starting to understand why I'm recommending these guys?

Though I'm starting to wonder whether they like losing money on me. If you sign up for their free service on my wholehearted recommendation, they are actually going to pay me a dollar.

The time has come

If you've been living on the edge, without decent backup, the time to start playing it smart is now. What would it mean to lose everything on your computer? Peace of mind is just a click away.

Oh, and there's MozyPro, for businesses. I hope they make some money on that!
