An Individual account gives you 5GB but costs $7.95 per month after a 14-day trial period. And then, MozyEnterprise.Ī free Lite (single user) account with Box.net gives you 1GB of space. There’s MozyPro with its online backup services to businesses with more than 2,000 employees. And if you think 2GB storage space is not enough for you, you could try the paid MozyHome: It gives you unlimited space, starting at $3.95 a month. What is thrown in with this Mozy deal is open/locked file support, 128-bit SSL encryption, 448-bit Blowfish encryption, automatic scheduled backups, email backups and much more. No meandering set-ups, no conditions, no expiry dates here. But better client software, at least on the Windows end, is in order if it wants to keep up with the competition.MozyHome Free gives you 2 gigabytes (GB) of free storage space indefinitely and is compatible with both Macs and PCs. Getting both backup and sync in one package is nice, and shows that the company understands the target audience. Mozy is a venerable and highly reliable and secure online backup service that worked quite well in our hands-on.

MOZYHOME LOGIN UPGRADE
You can purchase or upgrade Mozy using the local client. Backblaze it isn’t, but Mozy is competitive cost-wise if your data set is relatively tame. Beyond that, you’ll pay $6 a month for 50GB of storage, while the best deal for most users is likely the 125GB plan for three computers at $10 a month. Don’t scoff: That’s probably enough to back up your most important documents. Unnecessary redundancy certainly isn’t a fatal flaw, simply indicative of how the two services could be meshed better. And if you right-click on Mozy’s Sync folder (Users/”Username”/Mozy Sync) you’re actually afforded the option to include it in the Mozy Backup. For instance, there’s no quick access icon for the sync location, as you’ll get with DropBox and the like. Mozy Backup and Mozy Sync are downloaded and installed separately, and while both are easy to use, they could integrate better with the operating system-and each other. However, if you are storing stuff elsewhere, you should know its whereabouts. Mozy Backup does a good job of automatically corralling the the files you’ll want to back up-pretty much everything in the user folders, such as My Documents.

MOZYHOME LOGIN ANDROID
Clients are provided for Windows, OS X, and Linux (Pro only), as well as Android and iOS. It’s not as versatile overall as iDrive, but it does cover the two most important roles. Probably the nicest thing about Mozy is that it both backs up and provides the sync folder functionality that you get with Google, OneDrive, Dropbox, and the like.

Note: This review is part of our ongoing roundups of the best free backup software/services and the best Windows backup software. Check out its competition in our comprehensive online backup roundup. Times have changed and data sets have ballooned, but with Dell EMC behind it, Mozy is still one of the most confidence-inspiring online backup services available. After all, it was the online backup service the pretty much got the ball rolling with 2GB of free storage-back when 2GB covered most people’s needs. Reviewing Mozy again after almost a decade is like coming home.
