You are backing up your data regularly, right? Of course you are! Well, Mozy will make it even easier for you. Now you can back up two gigabytes of data for free, and there are low cost options to back up more data. You can store 5 GB for US $19.95/mo, 10 GB for $29.95, and 20 GB for $39.95.

Creating an account is simple, and the software is easy to use. Upon boot up the client software analyzes your system and creates a list of files for backup. Once you choose all the files you want backed up, just let the system do the rest. It even has 448 bit Blowfish encryption. You can then schedule the backups for whatever time you deem convenient. I schedule mine for 3 AM, because I’m usually sleeping at that time.

What does Mozy get in return for your free two GB of storage?

"Our business is based on advertising. We send you a weekly newsletter that is paid for by advertisers. Note that we only work with advertising sponsors we think offer worthwhile, useful products and services and we never share your personal contact information with any 3rd parties."

If you’re not using a backup system, or want to simplify your backup system, this is a must see. It’s easy to use and requires very little commitment from the user. www.Mozy.com.

    From the Mozy site:
    "Mozy Plus lets you choose how much backup space you need. $1.95 for 5GB, $4.95 for 30GB, and $9.95 for 60GB! (All prices are per month, one computer only per account.)"

    I'm a Mozy user and I like it very much. Glad to see you mentioning it, but I think you have quoted the pricing wrong, as shown by the quote above. It would be a pity to put people off this unique and economical service.
