Mac Gets Online Backup Service With MozyHome
By: Tech2.com News Staff   |   May 05, 2008
Mozy, Inc., part of the Cloud Infrastructure and Services Division of EMC, has released MozyHome , unlimited online backup service for the Mac.

"Mozy is honoring its roots by augmenting its service to consumers and small businesses," said Vance Checketts, chief operating officer for Mozy. "We've had more than 43,000 individuals participate in our public beta and have devoted thousands of hours of development to this new MozyHome for Mac release."

Designed as a consumer service, MozyHome for Mac offers 2 gigabytes of online backup absolutely free with no expiration date, or $4.95 a month for unlimited online backup capacity. Mozy automatically protects all computer files including photos, music, videos and financial documents from data loss in the event of hard drive crash, accidental deletion, natural disaster or theft. All files are encrypted with 448-bit Blowfish encryption and the encrypted files are transferred via a 128-bit SSL connection - the same encryption used for online banking - during the backup process for extra security.

After the initial backup, Mozy only backs up incremental changes to files and folders, meaning subsequent backups run extremely fast. In addition to the most recent backup, it keeps 30 days worth of file versions as well. In the event of data loss, files may be recovered via the Mozy client software, downloaded from the website, or by ordering the files on a set of DVDs from the same.

Mozy will release a business version of its Mac service to enhance its MozyPro and MozyEnterprise offerings later this summer.
