BACK-UP BUFFET $5 all you can eat

So Mozy, one of the attention-getting back-up services online has finally come out of beta this week. Most users will be able to get by with the totally free 2 Gig back-up account. The service is pretty slick and user-friendly. It basically does what is advertised.

If you have more than 2 Gigs worth of data that you want to archive online (like your iTunes library!), then just cough up $4.95/month or $54 for a year pre-paid (tiny discount for getting it over with and paying once during the year). And then relax...ahhhhh.

To celebrate coming out of beta mode, they are removing account size limitations for their paid service! What does that mean? It means you should back-up ALL your data immediately with Mozy. It's what I'm doing right after this blog post!



I like online back-up services a lot. And Mozy has gotten some stellar reviews against the competitors.

Here is how simple it was to sign-up for the free account:

1. You register for a free account: You basically have to download Mozy software and backup your data. The download will take you less than 30 seconds, so it's worth going through registration to try out Mozy.

2. Download and install software.

Mozy downloads in just seconds, and the installation is simple and fast.

3. Select the folder & files that you want backed up.

Next, simply click on the types of data you want Mozy to archive, and it does the rest. You can also dig into the details of your hard drive and get specific about which files and directories you want Mozy to take care of.


Viola! You're done! Now you can sleep better at night knowing that you can always get your data back if something happens tonight, tomorrow, or any day!
