  Bottom Line

  While experts are disappointed the MozyHome eliminated its unlimited storage plans, most still name it as the best online backup service for most personal users. MozyHome is flexible, highly customizable and easy to set up. It's compatible with PCs and Macs, with Android and iOS apps available for photo viewing and secure file access. An app for the Kindle Fire is also available.
  

  Ease of Use

  Simple and straightforward. Reviewers say MozyHome is a great choice for those who want a simple backup solution. The latest version of MozyHome has earned accolades for its ease of use and fast uploads. Reviewers report that MozyHome's interface is sleeker and more intuitive than ever before, and it supports all previous functionality. MozyHome advertises that its customer support is entirely U.S.-based, with knowledgeable representatives available 24/7, 365 days a year. Enter through the Mozy Support Portal on their website to find video tutorials, community forums and knowledge base articles. Live chat is available only to customers with paid subscriptions, and only people who subscribe to the MozyPro plan have access to phone support.
  

  Features

  Backs up to external hard drive. The latest version of MozyHome provides automatic local backup to an external hard drive (for Windows machines) in addition to online backup. The interface has been redesigned and uploads are slightly faster. The program takes advantage of system idle time to back up your files. Reviewers also like that you can pause the backup process if you're in the middle of an intensive task that needs your computer's full attention.
  Mozy's Stash tool adds a synchronization service to MozyHome, a unique feature for a traditional online backup service. Any files changed or added to the Stash folder on your PC or Mac immediately become available on your other computers that have Stash installed. Android and iOS apps let you access your files and upload mobile photos and videos directly to Stash.
  Safety and reliability are also feathers in MozyHome's cap. The service saves file changes for 30 days and allows you to restore deleted files in the same time frame. Users can choose between two types of file encryption: Mozy-supplied 448-bit Blowfish encryption or 256-bit AES encryption with a personal key you devise yourself. File transfers to Mozy's servers use additional 128-bit SSL encryption.
  

  Plans

  Multiple storage options. Mozy eliminated its unlimited data storage options in 2011. Now, users can opt for a 50 GB, one-computer plan at a cost of $6 per month or a 125 GB, three-computer plan at $10 per month. Critics say the change has made MozyHome one of the more expensive online backup services available -- at least if you have more than 50 GB of data. If you sign up for a year, you get a free month, and you get three months free if you sign up for a two-year commitment. Additional storage is available in 20 GB chunks for $2 more per month.
  Mozy also offers a free account with 2 GB of online storage, with no credit card required. Users of this free service who recommend their friends earn more storage space.
