Luckily, I have a very helpful friend, with a very fast internet connection, who could download the backup for me, and then send me a disk. "If you delete the working copy on your machine and then run a backup, Mozy will assume that you no longer need a backup copy, since you got rid of the working copy, and will mark the file to be removed from our system in 30 days.After 30 days, you cannot get these files back." What! Don't tell me about that, just fix it! But they couldn’t help, and time was running out: we only have that equipment in the US and we are unable to transfer your data from Dublin to the US to burn it and then ship in to the UK. at this time we are not setup to create DVDs from that data center. You data is backup on our data center in Dublin.
#MOZYHOME WINDOWS 10 HOW TO#
They explained how to do this to me a number of times, but I couldn’t get it to work. So a DVD restore seemed a better alternative. I do not have the power to override this. Sadly, the only response I could get from their support was: I thought this would be easy to solve – I just asked for a bit longer to complete my download. But on my current internet connection, that would take about 25 days to download … and Mozy only allows you 7 days to restore a backup set. When my disk crashed, I needed to restore about 100Gb of data. Please, please beware of these serious issuesġ) For large restores, it’s not possible to download the backup over the internetĢ) Mozy sometimes refuses to provide a copy of the backup on DVDģ) If you’re on a Mac, the restore format is incompatible with the Mac filesystem In my bitter experience, Mozy backups don’t work! My hard disk crashed, and Mozy simply couldn’t help me restore my files! I have never encountered a more serious service issue, and the customer-service was shocking! You can restore individual files using the Mozy application or the Mozy website, and for large restores, you can request a copy of your data on DVD. If you ever lose a file (or a whole hard disk, or your house burns down), you can restore your data from anywhere. It automatically backs up the contents of your computer’s hard disk, over the internet, to the secure Mozy servers. “EMC must know a thing or two about backups”, I thought.


Mozy is an online backup solution, operated by a company called Decho, which is actually part of the storage goliath, EMC.
