I haven’t blogged about ANYTHING in a while so I thought I’d throw this one out there.  I’ve been having some issues with my Mozy back-up lately and I’m not sure why.  It doesn’t appear to be automatically backing up as it did when I first loaded loaded the application.  My desktop seems to be backed up ok, but the issues I'm having are with my laptop.  It seems that the only time it will back-up is when I manually start the process.  A few weeks ago Dave sent me an IM letting me know about an option in the configuration panel for Mozy.  If checked the option, “attempt automatic backups even if network connection is not detected”, will attempt a back up even if it does not detect a network connection.  I believe that may be my issue.  I’m thinking when the laptop goes idle it drops the wireless network connection to save electricity.  Thus if Mozy doesn’t see my network, it doesn’t back up.  So I checked that box and we’ll see how it goes.   Thanks for the tip Dave!

On a follow up to my other blog posts about Mozy, I’m still liking it a lot and I’m up to 6.5 gigs of free back up space.  Thanks for all my readers who joined, there is at least 24 of you!

Good Day!
