I have the $10 Mozy plan, and had a drive die on me last month.
What's not always clear is that if the drive dies, then the backup client 'sees' that you 'don't want to back up I:/ anymore', and silently triggers a countdown to erasing those I: files on its server after 30 days..
I let the 30 days pass, unknowingly and was staggered to find that my remote I: was no longer there ! I shit a brick, but thanks to the support I was able to get it back.
Up until then I didn't have one complaint about Mozy, and honestly the person helping me was a real star, for $10 month I'm very happy. The archiving client on my machine was never a problem, stuff got uploaded and the restorable files downloaded fine too, when I wanted them. Just my 2c. I've not used any other backup/mirror/archive service, so I can't say.- < Carbonite does something similar with the 30 days limitation. Another reason I want to leave.ETM
- I don't mind so much now I know, but it was never made really clear. I'm all rescued now, and the staff were great, so..mikotondria3
