Reloading My Cloud – Replacing Mozy
In my last posting I discussed how Mozy had changed their game plan in light of what are clear financial difficulties that they are facing into and how my renewal cost is going to jump from $100 to $528!
Now I use Mozy as a secondary backup. I have a server sitting in the corner of my office and all the PCs in the house backup up to that on a daily basis. This protects me against events such as hard drive failures, accidental deletion of files and so on.
What it does not protect me from however is events such as theft, fire or flood. In these types of event, the chances are that if my home PC were destroyed or lost, my server doing the backups would suffer the same fate. It is for this reason off site backup is essential for both businesses and individuals.
So this is where Mozy came in.
