Second Best Backup Service - Mozy

After my recovery from my disaster I knew that this will be the last time, from now on I will be completely backed up. I made a thorough research and my first decision was that I need an online backup (I will explain this in a different tutorial), I knew I might have a local backup as well, but only as an addition to the main backup that must be online. In short, only online backup protect you from ALL the disaster possibilities like theft, fire and so on.

My research conclusion was unambiguous, Mozy give me the best protection for the lowest price, no question about it. I will write down full reviews about many backup solutions, services & software, and I will write down a complete review about Mozy as well, but I thought you might want to know what is the bottom line, and the buttom line is that Mozy is number one, for home users, small businesses and freelancers for sure. Backup for larger businesses is more complex and the competition is tighten.
