secure online backup

how it works:
1. sign up for an account (Free or Unlimited)
2. download an install software in mere seconds.
3. select files to be backed up.

what you get:
- 2GB of free, secure storage (or unlimited storage for paid accounts)
- open/locked file support: backs up files, even when they are in use!
- block-level differential backup: incrementally backs up files that have changed since last backup
- 128-bit SSL support (to secure your data during transport)
- 448-bit Blowfish encryption (to secure your data on Mozy servers)
- continuous or scheduled backup options

alternatives to Mozy:
- burn a new CD or DVD every sunday night and store them under your bed
- pay $200/year for an online backup service that uses mediocre software
- buy a $200 external hard drive and hope your office doesn't burn down
- do nothing and don't worry about backup. (we suggest closing your eyes, plugging your ears and repeating "i'm in a happy place, i'm in a happy place.")
- set up a cron job of rsync, gzip and mcrypt piped over SSH to your friend's server over his DSL line
- install Mozy and forget about it!
