Reviewing My Backup Strategy
The days of using a few floppy disks to backup important files are long gone. In going through my website I realized that the information about my backup strategy was a bit dated and didn’t reflect how I do things. Going through everything in order to write this article would also help me be sure [...]
No Longer A Mozy User
I’ve been a Mozy fan and user for a couple of years and had a paid subscription, at least until I recently cancelled it. At some point my backups stopped working. My tech support experience didn’t go well. While working on the issue I was backing things up to Amazon S3 (via Jungle Disk). After [...]
MacMozy 1.0 Released
Mozy’s Mac client has left beta and is now an official 1.0 release. I’ve used the paid Mozy service since September and have been relatively happy with it. There were a few rough spots, like the last beta release (version 0.9.4) which failed to successfully complete a backup, forcing me to roll back to the [...]
Mozy Backup – All In
About 10 days ago I took the plunge and subscribed to the full (Unlimited) version of Mozy Online Backup. Since I’m using it for my iMac I’m using the MacMozy software.

Jungle disk is a good example of a software developer that has built a service on the infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services. In this case it’s the Amazon Simple Storage Service. Amazon S3 for short. [...]
Mac Mozy Online Backup Update
I’ve still been using the Mac client for Mozy backup and it’s a good time for an update. To recap, the Mac client is still a early limited beta. In this case limited means it was offered to anyone who asked to be notified when the Mac client was available. There’s no Mac documentation yet [...]
Carbonite – Online Backup
I’m taking a look at Carbonite Backup as my next backup solution. In short, it seems almost perfect. (Almost – because there’s no Mac client although they say one will be coming in early 2007.) It’s the cheapest backup solution out there, $50/yr or $90 for 2 years with unlimited storage. (I just noticed today [...]
