Likelihood to Recommend Carbonite, an OpenText company
Mozy Pro is a great fit, especially for small businesses that don't want to pursue a very large number of licenses, and don't have many TB of data to backup. The price per user is reasonable, and well within the budget of smaller businesses needing workstation backup solutions. For larger enterprises, there are other products that provide a lot more storage and better performance. We found Code42's product to be better for larger data backup needs.

The software is powerful enough to meet most of the demands of these less complex environments. However, it may not provide the bells and whistles of enterprise software designed for highly virtualized environments.

Performance Settings: Mozy can be configured to run very smoothly in the background with minimal performance degradation. It provides network bandwidth throttling, backup speed, and backing up only when idle option. From my own experience I usually do not notice any performance degradation when Mozy is running. Of course a good network or Internet connection is vital. Restore: file restoration is simple and intuitive. The user can restore logical backup sets (e.g. all photos) or file based (select the folder or file you want restored). Files and folders can be restored with the latest version or earlier version. Rename and overwrite options provide further flexibility. Sync: with Mozy you can sync file across multiple devices including mobile. Access to your corporate files via smart phone is a secure manner is very useful. Read full review It's easy to use for beginners. I found the UI to be straightforward and logical. The software also runs in the Windows Pre-install Environment (Windows PE) if the machine crashes. Of course, you need to have backed up the drive first! Backups from the whole OS down to single files is available. Backup to CD/DVD, SSD and HDD are all supported. Read full review Cons Carbonite, an OpenText company
I would like to see backups for programs that I have installed on my machine. For instance I use Adobe CS6 and MS Office among other things. Instead of having to reinstall all these programs on my new machine, I would love for Mozy to be able to save the programs somehow and I can restore them as they were on the old machine with the same almost one-click process that I use to restore files. Basically like Time Machine, but for Windows. Read full review It needs a better way to monitor success/failure of the scheduled backups. Maybe notifications?

For the clients we have using this service, we fully plan to renew the subscription. However, that may change as our client's business grows and they have a need to add visualization and other server types to their environment
Read full review EaseUS Todo Backup is a superb software that does what it claims without the user needing a degree in computer science. Its plain user interface belies a lot of functionality that logically "guides" the user to making local and remote (cloud) backups of their important data. Additionally, the secure encryption of backups is just one less thing to worry about.

I usually find what I need to know by looking in the Carbonite knowledge base online. We haven't had any major problems, usually we just need clarification on a point or more details about a feature so we look it up. We haven't had to call in for help in quite awhile.

Carbonite Safe is a great solution for startup entities. It ranks nicely with Acronis and
Carbonite Server Backup . Carbonite Safe is very good for backing up workstations including home computers. This is a good solution for home office users. Acronis does image level backups better than Mozy / Carbonite Safe whereas
Barracuda Backup is a much more expensive (but worthwhile) investment.
Barracuda Backup includes a physical BDR appliance.
