Backing up data on CDs, DVDs or external hard drives can take a lot of time and can be difficult to manage and hard to keep up to date. And there’s still a chance that these storage devices can be lost, destroyed, or stolen.
I found out the hard way by not having data stored in two locations – I lost two years of photos to an external hard drive crash. I moved all of the files to the hard drive before getting a new computer and FORGOT to move them back thinking they were safe. Boy was I wrong.
Now I keep my files backed up automatically with Mozy. In addition to a local backup on an external drive.

Now with Mozy you can instantly access and download your files. This comes in really handy when you accidentally deleted or overwrite an important document.
