It’s been a while since I blogged about my Mozy remote back-up tool so I thought I’d do a follow up.  When I first blogged about Mozy it was in response to a computer crash I had where I lost documents, some pictures and all my MS Money files.  Seriously, now how I’m I suppose to know how much I spent at McDonalds back in the spring of 2001?  That was some important data to loose!

At any rate since I blogged a few months ago I’ve had Mozy running on my laptop and my desktop.  I opted for the free 2 gig account for two reasons, one I was impressed with the freeness of it and second, I really don’t have a lot of data to back up.  I back up all my pictures and mp3s on DVD so those are safe.  So the various documents and financial data is all that really gets backed up. Even then those files are compressed so I’m no where near my 2 gig limit yet. 

Another cool thing about Mozy is the referrals!  Just based on my one post on Mozy I’ve gotten like 9 referrals.  Referrals get you more space for you back ups.  So as of today I’m up to 4.2 gig!  Maybe I can get enough referrals to get my pictures backed up remotely too!

I love this blog and I love InstantSpot , thanks for having me!

Give Mozy a try and let me know what you think.  They are now Intel based Mac friendly!

Good Day!
