Expert's Rating
Pros
- Terrific initial backup selection set
- Simple approach for basic use
Cons
- Controls and status windows are split into too many pieces
- Restore software failed on one computer
- Backup halted due to bugs for four weeks on one computer (fixed in a subsequent release)
Our Verdict
Although MozyHome’s interface is a mess—with multiple independent floating windows, two file selection approaches, and a system preference pane—its use of Spotlight and intelligent initial backup set selection, however, makes it a great option for those who don’t want to fiddle with lots of settings.
