I’ve been looking for a service to backup all my pictures and videos. Well, I found one, Mozy. Mozy (www.mozy.com) is a company by EMC. EMC is a well known enterprise storage provider. They specialize in Storage Area Networks. So a service like Mozy is down their alley. For $4.95 a month, they’ll allow you to have unlimited storage backup!!! Wow, this is great! I’ve compared backup services with Amazon S3, Apple’s me.com, and a couple of others. They all come out to about $25 per 100 Gigabytes of space. Also, both Amazon and Apple have bandwidth transfer fees or caps.

Well with Mozy, there is no charge for space nor is there a transfer charge. Especially since I have over 200 Gigabytes of pictures, videos, and other data I don’t want to lose, I’m not looking forward to $50 a month in charges.

So, I signed up for Mozy today. Now, the hard part is the 12 days Mozy says will take for me to transfer all my files over the Internet… Hmm, I wonder where I can find a faster speed network.
