Mozy, Free Backups

Mozy said, “one in every ten hard drives fail each year.” I don’t really know if that even means anything!? Do you mean Hard Drives that are a year old? Or just ten random Hard Drives that failed within a year? Or maybe we shouldn’t think about it because hard drives do go out and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.

If your not out to spend a Hundred bucks on MobileMe this year, but you still want to back up your Mac. You may want to give mozy a try. Mozy is a simple and safe way to back up all the important stuff on your computer. A copy of your data is stored in a secure, remote location for safekeeping, so that in the event of disaster your data is still retrievable.

When I replaced my work computer I used Mozy to restore all my contacts, email, key-chains, miscellaneous settings and some important data to its fresh installation. It worked great and was easy to set up. The best part is that Mozy gives you 2Gigs FREE!!! However, if you need more space You’ll be paying close to MobileMe prices anyway.
