Thanks to Steve at the Utah Tech Spotlight, I am now backing up critical files on my Mac using Mozy. Steve did a Spotlight event with Josh Coates, founder and CEO. They also recorded a podcast.
Setup was a breeze. The install was via a pkg install which was effortless and they even included an uninstall app – rare with Mac software. After installing, I logged into my account – the one I created when I downloaded the software. Mozy scanned my documents and then asked which files I would like to back up. One cool feature is the ability to backup using backup sets or by selecting individual files and folders. An example of a backup set is Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets or iPhoto Library. As I started selecting items to backup, it kept a running total of how much of my free 2GB of backup space I was using.
