I want my files to stay on Mozy as ong as I pay for it. As soon as you delete a file the counter has started and you better notice it’s gone in the 720 hours the file will stick around or it’s gone forever. The file has moved and it’s backup a new version what should they do with the old version? They decided that could just phase it out in 30 days. This presented the problem of reorganizing files. Mozy probably wanted to avoid this and so stoped letting people delete stuff from thier backup. If you let people delete stuff from thier backup then you end up needing a backup for your backup when you accidently delete stuff from it. What kind of backup service is this? How about some persistance of data! Well it seems that if I don’t notice a file is gone in 30 days then Mozy deletes it from my backup. Great!īut what happens if I delete a file and not notiec it right away? I have a lot of files I want to back up and there is always the chance something could happen to a file without me knowing. Wait… what? They are saying that if I reorganize my MP3s they will delete the old MP3s in 30 days leaving me with just my new file struncture. Mozy’s solution to this seems to be that if you delete or move a file on your computer it keeps a backup… but only for 30 days. If I rearranged all my MP3s my Mozy backup would be a mess and if my harddrive died it would be pailful to download all the files twice. I rearranged some of my MP3 files and now Mozy has two copies because it keeps the files structure. The weird thing seems to be how it handles it’s backups. ![]() $5 a month is nothing when you spend all day every day on your computer. I’ve needed a better backup solution for a while and after looking arouns Mozy seemed like the easiest.
