Mozy Backups

Mozy is an on-line data backup tool. It runs in the background on your PC and transmits encrypted & compressed backups of your data files to a secure remote data center. This allows you to recover deleted or corrupted files without having to worry about traditional daily/weekly backups to disk.

The service is free if you have less than 2GB of data to back up. For $4.95 a month, you can backup up as much data as you can fit on one Windows PC (and fit through your Internet pipe.)

I have been using the paid version since I read a review in the Wall Street Journal last December.

Features include

  • Open/locked file support
  • 448-bit Blowfish encryption
  • 128-bit SSL encryption
  • Automatic or scheduled backups
  • New and changed file detection
  • Block level incremental backups
  • Bandwidth throttling
  • File versioning
  • Public or private key encryption
