I’m using MozyHome Unlimited for my MacBook for more than a year, and it works very well, even with about 100Go of data!

I really like Mozy and have been using the beta for a while. I’ve been getting by with the free 2 GB on my MacBook just backing up a certain set of items but I signed my girlfriend up for the unlimited service when I switched her from her constantly crashing PC to a Mac Mini. Working well so far.

“You can back up as many files as you can fit on your home computer.”

You didn’t have this in your initial post, and that’s way I thought it was appropriate to leave a comment I feel the word “unlimited” is used too often as a marketing buzzword. The only thing “unlimited” that we have access to is AIR , everything else is marketing jargon. Have you seen all those “unlimited” bandwidth advertisings we see at every other hosting provider? or in your domain of coverage; the initial AT&T’s “unlimited” text messaging for iPhone?

Official word from Mozy: ” You can back up as many files as you can fit on your home computer. Just note that the more files you back up, the longer your initial backup will take. MozyPro even offers the capability of backing up network or mapped drives for more flexibility.”

I don’t see anywhere on the site where it says there is a limit on your storage. Please provide a link that can back that up for us. What kind of limits are you saying they impose?

Unlimited number times you can access the system… NOT unlimited amount of storage. Some would call it misleading?

I never like seeing “unlimited” anywhere because there is always people like me who backup close to 1TB of data. Something tells me they wouldn’t like my service. Same reason Bandwagon (iTunes syncing) rejected me. It appears my iTunes library of 300GB was more than they wanted to deal with. Ah well Samsung has that 500GB 2.5″ HDD that should have been shipping in March, shouldn’t be much longer, right? …right? :S
