storagepipe.com This is Remi, and he is a proud Canadian! Remi likes the idea of ​​backing up data online, but he is afraid of what might happen to his data when it leaves the country. As a Canadian, his private customer information is bound by strict Canadian privacy regulations like PIPEDA. He is afraid that if his data was stored in another country, a foreign government forcing him to disclose his private customer data … while at the same time put him in conflict with Canadian law. So Remi began to think … What if? What if he could get all the advantages of online privacy without compromising security, control, or privacy? What if he could find a full-service online data protection company, which offered the possibility to store all its data on Canadian servers? What if he could be safely encrypt all of its online data using a password known only to him … ensure that no one else could access the information without his permission? Not even in the online backup company. What if this company was 100% Canadian owned, and had over 10 years experience in serving needs of Canadian companies? What if it were possible to automate the data to the cloud, while highly sensitive information securely and in Canada? Video Rating: 0 / 5

    You can select your video files with Mozy then set it and forget it. You can also tell Mozy to backup any folder you want then once it’s selected to back up anything in it then you can keep adding to your folders and the new files will continue to be backed up. Also you can make back up sets with Mozy. Think of it like a play list. Files and folders you want backed up, or file types that you would like always searched for on your HD and backed up.

    Mac Carbonite has no good way to backup *all* video files, only individual ones by tediously clicking on each one. Useless. Use Mozy instead if you’re on a Mac.

    This is how they’re going to eventually give all your information to the “Thought Police”. And the sad part of it is that you would have paid for it too.

    Am I correct in thinking that i could dump all my photos/music/video files on the cloud and free up up the space on my laptop? Or will i need to also keep a copy of them on my laptop as well as having them online? ( If so, when i delete the file from my laptop will it automatically restore it back from the cloud? )

    And if i had a pc with several users on it, will it back up their files as well as mine, e.g a family PC ?

  • By commonsense2008, December 14, 2011 @ 9:28 pm

    I used Mozy quite a bit for my clients, because ..it’s cheap. but that’s all it is really. Mozy needs a lot of maintenance since often the utility starts to freeze when you need it the most, very frustrating.

  • By bjwaz1, December 14, 2011 @ 10:51 pm

    Carbonite does NOT automatically back up video files. They must be manually selected. So that means that every time I download pics and videos from my camera I must then go in and select the videos for backup. So much for the “completely automatic” “no need to remember to backup” that they advertise. And according to their customer service, there is no setting that can be changed to make video file backup automatic. I asked for a refund within an hour of signing up. Going to MOZY.

  • By neilsmithmusic, December 14, 2011 @ 10:52 pm

    Carbonite makes you specificaly select video files to backup, so it’s not set and forget. That was a deal-breaker for me. I’m trying to figure out if Mozy makes you do this and can’t find ANYONE who addresses this.

    Hasnt anyone ever thought to buy an external harddrive and back their files up to that for $45 forever??

  • By CarboniteLostMyData, December 15, 2011 @ 2:14 am

    If you’re considering Carbonite, don’t! I had been a customer of Carbonite for years. My PC had a failure and the system was rolled back to an earlier date. I go to Carbonite and they can’t provide my data. When Carbonite does a backup they write a file to the PC that they’re backing up and then they use that file to restore the system. Long story short, I lost family pictures, videos, tax information, work and personal files. I was promised numerous callbacks from engineering that never came.

  • By daveegolden, December 15, 2011 @ 3:06 am

    In your comparison charts you have that Mozy files are “uploaded to Carbonite’s secured servers” really? I think you made a mistake in your copy and paste.

  • By daveegolden, December 15, 2011 @ 3:52 am

    In the Security section of your comparison chart you state that with Mozy your files are “uploaded to Carbonite’s secured servers” really? or just sloppy copy and pasting?
