Mozy by Decho I’m pleased to announce that Mozy is now part of Decho: short for “digital echo”. We already back up your data, and soon we’ll have the technology – the capability to build the world’s first data protection, management, and enrichment solution. Decho will provide that solution. Better than we were before. Better, stronger, faster. Over the next 12 months you will see our bionic powers begin to emerge.

Flight 1549 Paul Jorgensen had just come from a meeting at Goldman Sachs when he boarded US Airways Flight 1549. He sat down in seat 1A next to the window, pulled out his notebook to capture of few thoughts, then put it away and prepared for takeoff. Seated one row behind Jorgensen was Bill Wiley, also traveling for business with a computer onboard the plane. In fact, he brought a couple of notebooks with him. But he, like Jorgensen and all passengers, abandoned his personal belongings and focused on saving his life when the plane crash-landed into the Hudson River. Both men had been backing up regularly. The difference is Jorgenson backed up online with Mozy, and Wiley backed up his two computers to thumb drives. Jorgensen retrieved his data back from Mozy, but Wiley lost 250 GB of his employer’s information. The stories were detailed in USA Today and ComputerWorld.

Backing up your music? Your MozyHome free account gives you enough space to back up around 24 forty-five minute .mp3 albums-that’s awesome! But if you happen to have the Radiohead box set (or more than 24 albums) you’ll need MozyHome Unlimited. With MozyHome Unlimited, you can back up every album on your computer (and all that serious stuff like financial documents, emails, and spreadsheets) for less than the cost of a latte!

Great post! Just wanted to let you know you have a new subscriber- me!

Hello, can you please post some more information on this topic? I would like to read more.

Mozy currently stores more than 15 petabytes of customer files. It’s significant because Mozy is positioned to scale and take on large amounts of data. And being owned by Fortune 500 company EMC, Mozy are here for the long haul. What is a petrabye? one petabyte is roughly one thousand terabytes, one million gigabytes, or one billion megabytes. That’s the space of 10,000 laptops, each with a 100 GB hard drive, on which you could store approximately one of the following: 13.3 years of HD-TV video 10 million yards of books on a shelf 20 million four-drawer filing cabinets filled with text 250 million mp3 song

I can’t remember when I last backed up to DVD, my photo collection has grown and grown and I have no paper copies of our family photo’s. I can no longer ignore this and have just signed up for Mozy Unlimited storage for $54.45 for 1 year. Over the last few years we stopped getting photo’s printed and this makes us far more reliable on the PC, the rattling of my hard drive reminded me how vunerable we are to hardware failure.
