I signed up for Mozy’s online backup service

I had considered Mozy before and Adrian spoke highly of it yesterday, so I’m in.
I’ve got local backups with the Western Digital Media Center. I’ve got offsite backups with a USB enclosure hard drive and DVD backups of iTunes and Picasa. Thing is, my offsite backup discipline is pretty lackadaisical. I don’t think I’ve updated my offsite backups in six months. Mozy works automatically so I don’t have to think about it.
If your hard drive goes down you call Mozy or go to their Web site and order backups mailed to your house on DVD. You can download your backups, too. For individual files that’s handy. For a total hard drive backup that could take weeks, so the DVD option is good to have. Cost is $5/month for unlimited backup space for one computer. All of the data is encrypted with your choice of their key or theirs.

Online backup FAIL
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 | Tech | Permalink | 3 Comments |
I’ve got a backup strategy that I like, but the offsite part is weak (because I’m too lazy to bring home my offsite backup and update it every often). Online backup seems like a great way to fill in that gap.
Thing is, this story from TechRepublic on their experience with Mozy and Carbonite isn’t too reassuring. (Hat tip to Bill Dean.)
Anyone using online backup? Talk to me.
