Mozy.com – The unrealiable backup service
I am trying to restore a backup for the last few hours. Mozy client is hanging and doing nothing, can’t restore any of my files. The web restore isn’t helping too. I have these files on another drive, and i’m totally not happy with the service. I do not recommend anyone this service. Sorry guys. They also have a section in their blog scary faces, where they mock up people who lost their files, well that’s what happens if you wait for mozy to restore the files, it doesn’t do it. I liked the whole idea of the service and was an enthusiast about it but now i’m totally the opposite.
Update 10 minutes later
Just received an email that my web backup is ready, and now it’s downloading with a full speed. This is good. Their client though $ucks, because it hangs all the time on my brand new windows 7.
Update 1 hour later
After i downloaded the backup from the web, i have extracted the mozy archive .exe file and then realized i need to decrypt the files too, in the end it turned out about 10% of my files were corrupted no matter that i supplied a correct decryption key. This is ridiculous. I would never use this service again!
