[Hidden-tech] Off site backups

[Stefan Gonick]

Hi David,

I like Mozy a lot. One very important thing to keep in mind when
comparing services is whether or not they will back up open files.

I keep my accounting, database, email and so on programs open
all of the time, so backing up open, in-use files is important. A lot
of these services can't do that. Mozy can.

Best regards,
Stefan
