Holllyyy Mozzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyy!

This is incredible!

All the rumors before the official announcement have been captured here:

And of you will also find several articles after the official announcement in the home page of the above website.

Cheers,

Elaine

I wonder how long it will be before they raise the price?

L G Greene

Well, perhaps this would explain why I cannot seem to get any answer whatsoever from Mozy technical support as to why there is such great difficulty in restoring a couple of files I have backed up on their system. Presumably in time as things get more organized, they will be able to be responsive.

Has anyone been able to download and ACTIVATE Mozy for a Mac? What's the best way to get help?

Dick Eastman

Yes. I have Mozy installed and running on the MacBook I am using at this moment. It seems to work well. I downloaded the Mozy installation file, double-clicked on it and followed the instructions that appeared on the screen. A minute or two later I performed the first backup.

I didn't do anything "special." All I did was enter the data asked for during the installation.

I've used Mozy as a 2-gig thumb drive for a while now. It's nice to get to the library, and still have my resources available online. I've had no problem transferring files back and forth, so I hope L G Greene gets a resolution soon. As the blurb indicates, it's reasonably simple to use, and the security is a plus.

Mozy is not backing up everything in a timely fashion for me. Specifically, it doesn't back up the AOL Personal Filing Cabinet for one of my screen names often enough, and it doesn't back up my Family Tree Maker FTW data file -- unless the file happens to be open at the time a backup is run! Both AOL and FTM have an automated backup scheme of their own, and I'm wondering if they reset some sort of flag that makes Mozy think they don't need backing up. Has anyone else noticed this? Mozy tech support didn't provide me with a solution. Those happen to be among my most important files, of course.

Ann--hate to appear dumb--how do you know Mozy is not backing up your FTM info? I have that in my backup configuration but have never needed to restore my files so I had assumed they were backing it up. Of course it is one of my most important files and one of the main reasons I am paying for the service. I have been a lax in backing up on CD since beginning to use Mozy about 2 years ago.

thanks, judy

Judy, pretend you want to restore the file, then compare the date stamps of the file on the Mozy server and your hard drive. I am using FTM 2006.

Nancy

Ann,
Fyi - Mozy is backing up my FTW file correctly. I am using FTM 11.

The new version, 1.8.4.7, insists on displaying its status screen on boot-up. This delays the start of my ZoneAlarm firewall, as well as being annoying. The techs at Mozy tell me to wait for the next update, but I would like to get rid of this status screen. Using their Hide option does not help for successive boots. Any ideas?

Harvey Mechanic

" Using their Hide option does not help for successive boots. Any ideas?"
I had the same problem but found the fix. Go to your Start/Programs/Startup and you will probably see there two Mozy Programs are starting upon your bootup.

MozyHome Status
Mozy Status

Both were put in there by default upon your Mozy installation. If you remove the Mozy Status from the Startup you will not have the status screen to hide upon any bootup and you will not lose any functionality of Mozy Backup as you can access the status by going to the Mozy icon in your tray.
