A while back (6 months) I discovered a service called mozy …it was in its infancy with only one gig and kind of slow….not very streamlined… but NOW mozy is in beta and has up to 2.3 gigs for FREE it automatically backs up incrementally after the first Big backup where you upload a bunch of stuff at once…2.3 gigs may not SEEM big…but when all you have is webserver backups/docs/pictures 2 gigs goes a long way…anyway…here are the screenshots
The installer is pretty routine , until the 3rd screen where it asks for your mozy account and password … after that it asks you to select all the folders you want to backup
They have pretty fast servers…but the average (upload) speed for broadband isn’t all that fast …so to backup the entire 2.3 gigs of your quota (for free) will take about a day
The nice feature of mozy is that once it does the initial backup … it monitors the folders you selected for new files …then ONLY when your computer is idle it uploads them to keep them up to date on mozy’s servers
This is a pretty cool app especially for free
I give this app a 9/10
get it at Mozy.org
