Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

Up until today, I've been an extremely enthusiastic supporter of Mozy for the past several years. For $93.56 USD, I was signed up for a two year plan that worked wonderfully. That works out to only $3.90 per month, which is affordable for anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection. Even if you were paying the $4.95 monthly fee, it was still cheap. I was such a fan of Mozy I was constantly evangelising their service to friends and family; I've seen the effects of data loss first hand and wouldn't wish that anger and frustration on anyone.

"Decho Corp. said today the latest Mac release of its MozyHome and MozyPro online backup service fixes a problem it was having associated with saving backups sent to it by Apple Inc.'s Time Machine backup tool, which works with Apple's Time Capsule network-attached storage device."

Apparently they discovered a bug in 1.4.1 of their backup for Mac, which caused the Time Machine software to freeze up when used in conjunction with Time Capsule. This update is supposed to fix that for both Pro and Home versions. If you don't use online backups, you probably should since they are so inexpensive, and if you have less than 2GB, this one is free for home users. For unlimited it is $4.95/month USD which is comparable to other online storage companies, such as Carbonite and BackBlaze. I'm a convert (currently using BackBlaze).
