Well my month long experiment of the Mozy service is concluded. Over the course of about a week I was able to upload a lot of my document files and my 10gb iPhoto library. The thought of spending a month uploading my 40gb iTunes library makes my brain hurt. I can see the benefit of online storage but I’m not sold. Instead of renewing I spent $80 on a USB hard drive that I keep in a secure location away from my home.
Mozy in summary:
Pros:
1. $5 a month, unlimited storage
2. Offsite
3. Presumably Secure Services
Cons:
1. SSSLLLOOOWWWWW Upload (1 week for 12gb)
2. How secure is my personal data once I send it out into the ether?
