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

[Andrew Bellak]

Dear HT,

Here's an update on our online backup investigation.  To be clear, we 
only looked at business solutions from Mozy Pro or Carbonite Pro and 
JungleDisk.  Pricewise, JungleDisk is much less expensive at about 
$0.15/GB/month plus $5 per server.  Mozy Pro is $6.95/server plus 
$0.50/GB/month.

For 4-500 GB that adds up quickly.

Our IT vendor will now research what's involved getting our system to 
work with JungleDisk and get back to us.

In addition, we are investigating having a full set up on another set of 
servers in case our primary servers ever go down for an extended period 
of time.

Regards,
Andrew
