So as someone who lost data years ago I have been backing up my data with I hard drive and an online backup from mozy.
Well recent I got scammed on eBay (but I got my money back) so of course my external hard drive has been failing no problem I have been paying for mozy for 17 months and have my stuff backedup.
Not so.
I had 90gb of data last week two days ago I saw to my horror that it said I had 0kb backed up. Wah? No way!!! I called , someone said "sorry we don't offer phone support for mozy home??!!!". Fine I email them, "well I see you have 1gb backed up with us now"
what about the other 89gb!??
They said, you just have to install the lasted version of mozy and back up you data.
Well today my computer won't start and I am stuck without a back up.
Well, hoping it's not a hard drive issue I take it to the apple store, only to find out that yes it is a hard drive issue. After my last interaction with mozy I bout carbonite but no back has started with them yet.
So to sum it up, I paid for 17 months of mozy online backup. One day zero percent of my backup was there. Mozy did not offer me any support, and in keeping with murphy's law my hard drive on my MacBook suffered a major failure. So after being a good girl and backing up my data mozy has left me in the same position as if I had no backup only 17 months of service payments poorer.
So as to the question of which online backup to use the answer is anything that's not mozy
