Re: Mozy Online Backup > Comcast Backup

said by inferno:

Mozy Online Backup = $5 a month for unlimited space... this is $10 a month for 200 gigs... fail...
According to the page, Comcast Backup is Mozy (or powered by Mozy).

Personally I hate Mozy since last time I tried it it created a file on my drive that grew out of control. I only noticed it when I couldn't figure out where my disk space was going and found a 2 GB file in the Mozy folder.

That and I hate programs that needlessly run as a driver. Mozy runs as a driver and monitors all disk access and stores it in the before mentioned file.

I personally prefer DropBox which only does stuff when it's actually running. It also offer 2 GB free, though the paid services are more expensive then Mozy.

I don't like Mozy either. I want external storage to use as a remote hard drive. Mozy forces you to use their service only as a mirror. So, if you delete something off your hard drive, those files will then be deleted off of Mozy at some time in the near future.

Not what I want . . . unless Comcast has modified the Mozy functionality.

Something like iDrive, MobileMe iDisk or SkyDrive would work for you.

The later two can be mounted as a network drive under Windows (and Mac for iDrive).

You just answered my question.. I use Dropbox. Sounds like I should stay with them...
