Mozy: Encrypted Remote Backup, for free!
Ciaran Moore - December 10, 2006Mozy is an online remote backup service that gives you up to 2 GB online storage space to store your backups. This is very useful in case something happens that makes your beloved computer die for a while. There’s nothing worse than that happening and losing irreplaceable data such as photos you’ve taken,emails, or your work, or just data that takes a long time to replace such as your mp3 collection or games you have to start all over again, etc.
You simply create a user account and then download the small setup program, which should take less than 30 seconds, then you’re good to go! Then you just select the filetypes you want Mozy to take care of, you can also choose whatever directories you want backed up.
You get a full 2 GB for free but you can upgrade to more by paying or through the referal program. It supports block level differential backup so that it only backs up new data.Its fully encrypted so its gonna be safe, it has 128 bit ssl encryption during transfer of data and 448 bit encryption during storage! You can even schedule backups to make things even easier!
That’s all pretty impressive to me anyway for a free service. Like the sound of it too? Go check it out here!
I think you’d be hard pressed to find a better online backup service for free, but if you do, tell me about it : )
