Mozy Review Lists Main Strengths
Mozy services are broken down into Mozy professional and Mozy home with each having the ability to be customized to meet your needs. Mozy home and professional share a number of features with the later also having recover options and a much higher level of encryption available.
In order for you to take advantage of the backup features, you must have a license. According to the Mozy review, licenses start at just $3.95 a month. If you need a server license it will cost you a little more at $6.95 a month. The desktop license gives you the basic features where ase the server license gives you far more business capability along with MS Windows support, SQL support, and network support.
The Mozy review states that Mozy establishes maximum security using military grade SSL encryption. 128 bit SSL encryption is used during the backup process, and then when the file is stored it will use either 256 bit or 448 bit encryption. To restore your files you just have to opt to download your backup from the Mozy site after you log in.
Mozy Review Strengths
Mozy is priced competitively, in fact when you compare what it offers it's actually fairly cheap. It is definitely one of the most affordable backup options available online. Your Mozy monthly costs can be as little as $3.95/month for a desktop license that offers you all the functionality you will ever need. It doesn't get cheaper than that.
The Mozy automatic backup is easy to set up and very convenient. It works while your computer is idle, which means it is light on resources and on bandwidth, a problem some of the competitors face. You just setup your backup schedule and the process is automated. It's really that simple.
Mozy Review Weaknesses
Mozy sometimes has issues connecting to the servers and like any piece of software there are the occasional bugs that occur within the software. The Mozy support team is sometimes very slow to respond to messages regarding technical problems. Occasionally Mozy also has problems with backup failing specifically when the backup quota is reached.
Mozy Pro offers as close to an ideal backup approach as there is. Do not let the minor glitches scare you. Its benefits far exceed the minor inconveniences. It's economical, safe, powerful, and so easy to use. Throughout the time Mozy has been around it has grown into a top-ranked backup provider. It is certainly one that you should explore, even if you are on a budget. In fact, according to the latest Mozy review you will be hard pressed to find another online backup that has as much to offer for so little money.
