 We've talked about the benefits of a good data backup strategy in the past. Here another option to add to the list: get the 2GB Online Backup for free at Mozy. After a quick download, initiate automatic, continuous encrypted backups of files you identify on your system. With Mozy, you can access files from the Web, customize backup scheduling, and access earlier file versions for 30 days. The 2GB free option is a great way to backup all your critical data like Outlook files, Quicken files, Tax returns and document archives. If you want to backup your entire music collection, PDF scans, and 10 years of photos, go with the Unlimited Backup option for $5 per month/per computer. Further discounts are available for paying up front for a one- or two-year plan.
One key issue to think about regarding online backup is your upload capabilities. With a slower broadband connection, a 50GB backup could take days or even weeks. With a dial-up connection, it's simply not even worth considering. However, Mozy runs in the background and you can pause it whenever you like. Also, after the initial backup, subsequent backloads are incremental. Mozy makes a great companion to a redundant local drive strategy.
Mozy also has enterprise solutions available through MozyPro.
