The company claims that it already has more than 700,000 total users worldwide, and 6.2 billion files backed up.
MozyHome allows Mac users to back up all of their digital information over the Internet. Users can get 2GB of online backup service free of cost and with no expiration date, or unlimited online backup capacity for $4.95 a month.
The company automatically protects all computer files including photos, music, videos, and financial documents from data loss in the event of hard drive crash, accidental deletion, natural disaster, or theft. All files are encrypted with 448-bit Blowfish encryption, and encrypted files are transferred via a 128-bit SSL connection during the backup process.
After the initial backup, Mozy only backs up incremental changes to files and folders, meaning subsequent backups run extremely fast. In addition to the most recent backup, Mozy keeps 30 days worth of file versions as well. In the event of data loss, files may be recovered via the Mozy client software, downloaded from the Mozy Web site, or by ordering the files on a set of DVDs from Mozy.
Later this summer, Mozy says that it will release a business version of its Mac service to enhance its MozyPro and MozyEnterprise offerings.
