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.
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 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.
In October 2007, EMC acquired Mozy for $76 million.[1]
