Mozy is an online backup tool that allows both Windows and Mac users to back up their data to an off-site server. While originally released as a product for end-users, Mozy later released a remote backup utility for businesses, MozyPro, which made a splash by landing a large deal with General Electric.
With the free version of Mozy, a user can back up as much as 2 GB of data from up to two computers (referring others to Mozy gives free users an additional 0.25 GB of storage space). The paid version ($4.95 per month) allows unlimited backups from one computer. Mozy has the ability to back up categories of files such as all bookmarks, or all Word documents, or all e-mails at once rather than forcing the user to select particular files or folders.
For a typical system on a typical broadband line,[specify] Mozy backs up data at about 2-4 GB per day. But if left undisturbed on a faster connection, one can back up over 9 GB in a single day.[citation needed]
In October 2007, EMC acquired Mozy for $76 million. [1]
