So if you are looking for a great, reliable and affordable backup solution for your home computer, you should check out Mozy. As you probably know, EMC is the leader is the storage market and owns Documentum, VMWare, and RSA among other technology companies. On an average day, I think I was uploading about 5+ GB.Īnother recent event that makes Mozy even more attractive to me is the purchase of Berkeley Data Systems, providers of Mozy online backup by EMC Corporation. Mozy doesn’t seem to play any of those games and allows uploads that are supported by your bandwidth. Carbonite seems to limit upload bandwidth to about 2 GB a day and then throttle it down after you reach 50 GB. Another awesome feature of Mozy is that fact they don’t really throttle your bandwidth after you’ve uploaded 50 GB. Mozy on the other hand has never done that. When I first installed Carbonite, I did several test restores and they worked fine but when I had been backing up for several months and really need to restore something, Carbonite let me down.
One of the best and most important feature that set Mozy and Carbonite apart is the fact that you can actually get your backed files back. Carbonite is a fairly bare-bones offering which may be ok for most novice users but Mozy offers several configuration options like creation of backup sets, file versions, access to your files via the web and many other features.
CARBONITE VS. MOZY WINDOWS
Like Carbonite, Mozy installs a small client on your Windows XP/Vista or OS X desktop that runs in the background and backs up files over the Internet using your broadband connection. Mozy is similar to Carbonite in some regards but has a much richer feature set that makes it a better offering. So I decided to give up on Carbonite even though I had already pre-paid for 2 years – I guess it’s better to lose $80.00 than all your data. I’ve had numerous problems with Carbonite and their customer service was crappy. The Carbonite Data Protection Platform supports businesses in locations around the world with secure and scalable global cloud infrastructure.I have or should say had been a Carbonite user for almost an year but issues after issues finally got to me and the lack of new features that were long promised but never delivered forced me to start looking at the automated online backup again and I am so glad I did, as I’ve found Mozy.
