Comments on: Mozy On Over to Toronto http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/05/03/mozy-on-over-to-toronto/ Insight and Analysis from North of the Border Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:22:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Erik http://www.markevanstech.com/2008/05/03/mozy-on-over-to-toronto/#comment-58312 Erik Sat, 03 May 2008 12:36:03 +0000 http://www.markevanstech.com/?p=3382#comment-58312 I'm surprised he didn't draw a parallel between the violent elation of those riots and the feeling a customer of Montreal-based Bell Canada must have at seeing Mozy's offering. Bell charges $5-6 per 5GB chunk of storage in the Bell Personal Vault. Mozy charges $5 for an unlimited amount of data. I've been a Mozy customer for about a year now, since they first announced their Mac client beta. I have 106GB of data on their servers, protected with 448-bit Blowfish encryption with key that I can set. I have it pre-configured to save my user entire OSX user folder, start backup daily at 1:30 in the morning, and I never think about it again. It is an awesome service, the price point makes it a no-brainer. Plus, with EMC - one of the largest info storage companies in the world - now owning them, they're no longer a potentially-unstable startup, and can easily make credibility claims on par with any service provider.
