[Hidden-tech] Fwd: mozy no longer unlimited, guess it had to happen...

[Frank Aronson (Gmail)]

James -

 

Thanks for the heads-up.  I've been a Carbonite customer for a long time
now, and the reason I went with Carbonite originally is that they offered
unlimited backups from a single machine.  At the time that I signed up with
Carbonite, Mozy had a per GB fee structure which made it particularly
unappealing, as it could be more expensive and - given the increasingly
large hard drive capacities - become more expensive still.  Carbonite
offered a stable plan.  Once Mozy realized that Carbonite was eating their
lunch, they relented and moved to a single yearly subscription price.
Recently, Mozy offered a very enticing feature:  simultaneous local backup.
This is appealing because the restore process is far less tortuous locally
than it is from the cloud, and if your machine died, you could get it back
much faster.  Because of this, I've been recommending Mozy to my clients.
Now it is decidedly a second choice, given the potential costs involved.  Oh
well.

 

Frank

They started out at $55 per year unlimited, now significantly more
expensive...

>  

> 50 GB for $5.99 per month (includes backup for 1 computer)

> 125 GB for $9.99 per month (includes backup for up to 3 computers)

>  

> You may add additional computers (up to 5 in total) or 20 GB increments of
storage to either of the plans, each for a monthly cost of $2.00.

> While this policy takes effect for new MozyHome customers starting today,
your MozyHome Unlimited subscription is still valid for the duration of your
current 1 year term. Your new plan will take effect on your first renewal
