Backing up question...

[MyEbella]

I took joined mozy and signed up for the year and it gives you a slight discount...
(I'm still on my initial back up..... taking forever LOL) but getting there!

so I'll be honest I read thru the site, but didn't read everything...

if you delete off your computer it deletes out of their mozy back up?

for photos I uplaod everything to my smugmug account (in need of a major over-haul in desing LOL)

so they are backed up pretty good their. I am pretty current w/ the last 6 months, just need to work on stuff on my computer that is older than that...
but then I hope to order monthly or quarterly DVD's from them

All my flattened layouts are also uplaoded there (I can resave to my computer if I need to) (just wish they also could store the psd and the kits =)
oh well that is what mozy is for!

backing up kits... haven't done in a super long time!!! scary

I'm getting Mozy, everyone has finally sold me on it. DH has so many photos for his photography side business, I really think I would feel better if there was just one more place where it could all be stored.

My EHD is only 2 years old, but I realized if it went I'd lose EVERYTHING! Plus Jordan was a jerk about burning DVD's for me today, so I'm signing up for Mozy this weekend when I can leave the comp on all day to start backing up. Plus I have a friend with a laptop who's going to let me use their drive to burn as many dvd's as I want. My best buy gift card will really come in handy now, lol.

if you delete off your computer it deletes out of their mozy back up?

Yup... it is just a mirror of what you have on the harddrive. If you delete it, Mozy will delete the backup. Of course, you have to set up which files you want it to back up, so it's not a complete mirror. Your program files aren't backed up, just the files and drives that you have selected.
