Mozy Deals

I read an article the other day that could give you another fantastic reason to use Mozy to backup your laptop. The article was posted at BusinessWeek. The story goes that Damian Zikakis had his laptop stolen and promptly had it replaced. At some point he checked his Mozy account and discovered that files were being backed up that were not his. The thief had started to use the laptop and his photos and files were starting to be backed up. Eventually a document was backed up that contained the name and address of the where the thief lived. This information was then given to the police who were able to recover the stolen laptop. Mozy went from being able to jsut backup files to being able to recover a stolen laptop.

What more reasons do you need to try MozyHome Free or MozyHome Unlimited? Not saying that Mozy will help recover your laptop if it is stolen, but you never know, it might just be what you need to recover your hardware as well as restore your files.

What would it cost to replace your data? The cost of your data all depends on what it is. If it is family photos of your daughters third birthday could you just re shoot them? Not likely. If you lose that essay you had been working on for the last two weeks the cost might be your time of having to redo it. If it is your business data you would be looking at recreating that data. Either paying one of your employees to reenter the data or looking at sending the hard drive away to try and have some data recovered. You might have to not accept new work while you redo the data or not take on as much new work.

Here is a simple math lesson looking at the cost of MozyHome Unlimited.

• Monthly subscription: $4.95 if paid monthly. That is only $59.40/year. Pretty cheap.
• Yearly subscription: $54.45 paid yearly. That includes one month free. If you use the latest promotional code you can take 10% off of that price. That works out to a yearly cost of $49.00/year or $4.08/month.
• Two Year subscription: $103.95 paid every two years. That includes three months free. If you use the latest promotional code you can take 10% off of that price. That works out to a two year subscription price of $93.55. A yearly cost of $46.78/year or $3.90/month.
