For the last few days I’ve been trying out Mozy for offsite backup, adding a bit more for it to back up each day. Does anyone out there have any thoughts or experiences on Mozy they would like to share, either positive or negative?
I guess I forgot to mention that I tried Mozy first instead of time machine for backing up my macbook and I never was able to complete a backup. After many weeks of data flowing an error kept popping up that despite my repeated attempts at cntacting their support team they never reslved and I cancelled my subscription. Myabe their client and now that I have much bigger upload bandwith it may work but at the time I tried which was a long time ago I couldn’t get it to work.
It seemed to work fine when I was backing up less than about 10 Gig. I’ve more recently added another directory with about 25 Gig in it, and it seems to be having more trouble with that.
I am waiting a bit before making a final judgement.
SM: I’m still testing and will reserve judgement for a bit longer. It did pretty well the first few days with a small amount of data, but it is struggling a bit as I add more. We shall see.

HH: we use it at work — the it guys recommended it highly and so far it has lived up to its billing…
