Mozy - Close, But No Cigar
After a shallow eval, and recommendation from a friend, I signed Dawnise up for MozyHome. Turns out that he's using the Mac client, which is happily backing up files on his network attached storage, but that the windows home client won't backup mounted drives or UNC paths.
So that sorta conflicts with my plan to move important data off Dawnise's (single-drive) machine onto the (in theory more reliable) NAS.
It's my fault for not noticing it - I didn't confirm that bit of functionality during the eval, and I didn't read their support page (the last question/answer is"does MozyHome support mapped or remote drives"). I assumed that if the "beta quality" mac client could do it, the windows client could, too.
My bad.
I'm trying to decide if I cancel the service, or if I leave data local to her machine.
