    NOT RECOMMENDED. Before you purchase Mozy, you need to be certain to read their TERMS (http://mozy.com/terms) regarding the reliability and use of their software. If the backups are not performed as scheduled with Mozy, they will continue to charge you for their software and storage fees and they WILL NOT take responsibility for lack of performance or make refunds if your backups are not performed. That's the point of having the software, so something users should definitely be aware of.

    The service the first year was "OK", but still couldn't tell what was being backed up and the software had to be re-installed a few times. At least I had one incident of phone support. The next year Mozy automatically signed me up, so they don't exactly remind you of the expiration date and just charge your card.
    The second year was a horror story. After charging me the entire next year up front, Mozy then changed all of its software to something that I couldn't figure out. It was never backing up anything. I must have sent numerous requests for support help, but only got back automated emails, half of which when I responded back had already been marked as "case closed out."
    On top of that, I couldn't get the Mozy site to change my email because the page never worked. I had started using an external HD to back up files when I knew I had to have a new OS installed. Worst luck was that it turned out to be defective, but I THOUGHT Mozy might have backed up something. Hah. After downloaded their Restore Manager and downloading files for about a day and a half, all I ended up with was pure gibberish. I didn't even recognize the photos or data files, which seemed to belong to someone else! Unbelievable.
    Not trusting my ability, I took my laptop to the local Mac repair center and not one of the competent techs there could find anything from Mozy that had to do with user files. I was furious.
    Did Mozy ever respond to my complaints? I got one email from some rep who claimed I had been entitled to phone support. NOT. My second year account stated I had to pay more to "upgrade" just to get that, and Mozy emails claimed I couldn't have that.
    What a screwed up service. For all I know, the file downloads I ended up with are hackers in China. Have no idea where my data is. Mozy only knows how to charge your credit card and then not deliver. I'd select ZERO in the rating but it doesn't exist.

    Complete Failure. I've used Mozy for over a year as a backup service. You never know if these things are working correctly until your hard drive crashes. That day came last month and as others have posted, my Mozy backup was 80% garbage, which ultimately makes it 100% trash. Don't risk it, it's not worth it. I went out and bought an external drive so that I know my files are being backed up. I have no personal issues with Mozy, but their service for me was a complete FAILURE.

    BEWARE of the Mozy program!!! I just purchased a new computer and wanted to restore all the files from my old computer onto this new one through Mozy, which it says is so easy to do. Well, most of my files were missing, only restored 600 out of over 6,000 photos!?! After a half hour wait online to speak to a rep.(you can't reach them over the phone unless you have pro), he agreed that there must have been some sort of internet connectivity issue during the backups (never admitted that it could have been a Mozy program error. As I was told by the program every week that the backup was successful. Thankfully my files weren't lost due to a destroyed computer, I was still able to retrieve them from my old computer, but I hope someone else learns from the amount of time I wasted trying to restore files and then the LONG wait for customer service. They did refund my remaining balance. Don't say I didn't warn you.
