Online Backup: Mozy vs. carbonite

Flint · 02-26-2011, 03:37 PM

I've been using Mozy online backups for $4.95 per month, 1 computer, unlimited data.

They are now changing their plans to:

125GB, 3 Computers, $9.99 per month
50GB, 1 Computer, $5.99 per month

I found out about this because my backups have failed for the last week even though my $4.95 is set to auto draft. Well, ƒuck you Mozy. I want a pro-rated rebate for the last seven days. Neither one of these plans works for me. I want 100Gb backed up on one computer, for the $4.95 I've already paid you.

I've been hearing about Carbonite. It offer remote file access. It offers unlimited data backup. It is $54.95 per year.

Unless someone can compellingly convince me that Carbonite is horrible, worthless, or otherwise to be avoided, I am switching ASAP.

Thoughts, opinions?
