Mozy

So I found this awe­some new ser­vice the other day. It is an auto­matic backup ser­vice called Mozy. Here’s how it works:

  1. Sign up for the free account at Mozy. (If you use my refer­ral code JGA3Y5, which is embed­ded in the link, they’ll give you and me an extra 256MB for free.)
  2. Install their soft­ware. It is very light­weight and lives in your sys­tem tray.
  3. Choose what kinds of files you want backed up.

Thats it! It auto­mat­i­cally encrypts and uploads your files to their server. The free ver­sion only gives you 2GB (or 2.25GB if you use my refer­ral code), but that is plenty enough to backup impor­tant doc­u­ments, spread­sheets, etc. The ser­vice can do the back­ups when your com­puter is idling, or you can sched­ule spe­cific days/times for it to run.

So far I am VERY impressed, and am con­sid­er­ing upgrad­ing to a paid account (30GB for $54.45/year, or 60GB for $109.45/year. Monthly pay­ment plans also available.).

So give it a shot! Takes like 3 min­utes to set up and there is no risk. The link is: https://mozy.com/?code=JGA3Y5 (Remem­ber: The refer­ral code gives you an extra 256MB!)
