![]() If you need to rapidly restore ALL data in the event of complete data loss (less than 1 day), then Mozy backup, and indeed any online backup service, is not going to be suitable (the onsite alternatives are a topic for another post). So what is my recommendation for others considering Mozy Pro?Īssuming your business has at least a few hundred GB of data, my recommendation for using Mozy backup really depends on how quickly you need to restore your data. Rather, you need to have the client on a Windows or Mac and then map to the network attached storage. * Perhaps not a con, but something to be aware of, you cannot autonomously backup a non Windows storage device. * Perhaps not a con, but something to be aware of, your backup up data is not replicated across Mozy data centers, it is stored in one data center only. * Mozy does not publish a guaranteed service availability. ![]() The 2xProtect option enables rapid restores for the most recent backup, however this will not be helpful if attempting to recover from a data corruption issue that spread to the last backups. * Even when using the restore by DVD, the restore process will take days not hours. * Mozy Sync does not have any features to enable file sharing with colleagues. * No password policy on Mozy Pro for businesses with less than 200 users. * There is no two factor authentication to provide additional security to online administrator authentication. * Mozy provides the 2xProtect option to allow local backups, in addition to online, to assist if you need to restore data quickly (only the most recent backup is available locally, historical backups are available online only) * Mozy provides a restore by DVD service for large data restores that cannot wait for Internet download (delivery time is 3 – 5 days). * The Mozy Data Shuttle provides a pragmatic method to achieve a first backup when your Internet connection will not suffice. * The entire Mozy business has successfully completed a SOC 1 SSAE 16 Type 2 audit which is a significant accomplishment. * Files are encrypted when stored at Mozy facilities, and you can chose to keep your encryption key, which means Mozy has no access to your files. I explain fully in a blog post,, but below are the key points. I've reached the conclusion that Mozy Pro may be suitable for businesses without rapid restore requirements, but you will need to compensate for poor password controls, and Mozy Sync will meet only the most basic of needs.
