Mozy is a piece of shit. Avoid it like the plague.
My favorite bit of their crap software is freaking out at odd times on my mac and sucking all IO rendering the computer unusable. And no, not at scheduled backup times. Perhaps these morons are reading the entire backup set and rehashing it instead of watching for changes? Dunno. This behavior persisted even after I told it to stop backing anything up at all.
What I do know is the client sucks ass and the web has many stories of people unable to recover their data when they needed it.
Earl, I've heard this repeatedly - do you happen to have a pointer or an explanation as to why Mozy is a piece of shit ? Just interested as from a non-specialist, it looked like an interesting offering
I'll echo the sentiment except from the windows side. I had the mozy pro deployed on 5 users laptops that were frequently connected to 100mbit internet connections. I never was able to get all 5 machines to continue to backup on their own. I constantly had to force the backups, add more resources (even though it should have auto purchased more storage), and deal with users complaining their computers were much slower.
The worst part was the outlook archives, large multigigbyte files it would try to compress and encrypt without splitting.
We use jungle disk now, nobody notices it and it works.
