So far, a couple of folks have signed up and are using Mozy for their backups (thanks for using me as a referral).
How does it work for you? My impressions are pretty good: it seems to be a lot faster at restores than it was a couple of weeks back. I am currently doing a couple of tests of selective restores to see how it works with that, before I pony up for the unlimited plan and back up other systems here. At $4.95 per system, I need to make sure it’s really necessary. It adds up. I could back up locally to a central system (as I do now) then back that up, so I get all my backups done as one system. But I suspect I’ll do at least two.
Comments welcome, especially if you’re not finding it to meet your requirements. I’d like to know if I have missed something important š
One gotcha I ran into when Mozy crashed: the little menubar status icon went away.
The MacMozy icon doesn’t show up in my menu bar. How do I start a backup?
Here’s how to get the MacMozy icon back:1. Log out and log back in.
OR
1. Go to the Applications folder.
2. Ctrl-click on Mozy and choose “Show Package Contents”.
3. Open Contents. Open Resources.
4. Double-click Mozy Status.
Or the 3rd way:
cd /Applications/Mozy.app/Contents/Resources; open Mozy\ Status.app/
