CNet: Mozy Online Backup Gets Even Better
The new software version allows users to simultaneously back up data to Mozy servers online and to a local drive. The software is also faster, reviewer Stephen Shankland says.
“EMC’s Mozy online backup service just got a lot more compelling–because it’s not just online anymore.
Version 2.0 of the cloud backup service, released late Monday, adds a very useful option to store your data on an external hard drive, too. Storing data remotely is well and good, but a local backup is easier if you need to restore files, and setting it up was as easy as plugging in a drive and telling the software to use it. External USB drives are economical these days–less than $100 for 1TB–and it’s nice not having to configure two different backup systems.”
