Ok, so how would Mozy handle a situation where you "connect" a single machine, which is a Windows Home Server 2011 (which handles backups from a small network very well)? I mean in terms of the "plans" - volume/bandwidth, etc.

I left for a couple of reasons. They removed their ultimate plan (mine still had a year and a half left on my plan) but if I wanted to add another machine to my current plan then I had to cancel my plan and resign up to their non unlimited plan. I don't really care about unlimited but I did have 90Gb in the cloud on Mozy, so their smallest plan was too small. They actually broke their existing plans when they introduced the new limited plans. I was supposed to be able to add more machines onto existing plan. They appoligised but there was no way around it other than cancel plan and switch to limited plan early. The other reason was partly due to them dumbing down the client. I used to be able to see what was going on, what file, how much of the compression it had done of the file etc. The new client took all that away and it just showed a percentage. No file info, nothing. couldnt even see if it was actually working unless you came back later to see if the percent had changed. Dissapointing. I'm not saying don't go with Mozy, it works well. I just found something that suited me as the end/power user better with Crashplan. I've now got something like 300Gb backed up. :) On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 12:18 PM, Greg Keogh <g...@mira.net> wrote: > James, I'm trying Mozy as I like the way your screen shot shows you can > select folders and most importantly ... use filters.
