View Full Version : Online Backup Service Mozy Discontinues Unlimited Backup Plans - My Plan Now Costs 1390% More Money

<p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//dht/auto/1296581415.usr1.png" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>Up until today, I've been an extremely enthusiastic supporter of <a href="http://www.mozy.com" target="_blank">Mozy</a>&nbsp;for the past several years. For $93.56 USD, I was signed up for a two year plan that worked wonderfully. That works out to only $3.90 per month, which is affordable for anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection. Even if you were paying the $4.95 monthly fee, it was still cheap. I was such a fan of Mozy I was constantly evangelising their service to friends and family; I've seen the effects of data loss first hand and wouldn't wish that anger and frustration on anyone. For the price of a Starbucks coffee per month, Mozy would protect all of your digital information...until now. <MORE /></p><p>Today Mozy announced what I consider to be one of the most bone-headed business decisions in the history of cloud-based services. They discontinued their unlimited backup plans and have replaced them with a $5.99/month plan with 50 GB of storage, and a $9.99/month plan with 125 GB of storage. How much data do I have with Mozy? 634 GB. For $3.90 per month, I'm certain that Mozy was losing money on me because there's so much data used in my account. However, my family members who have 20 GB stored with Mozy? Mozy is making money off them. From a business model perspective, it should balance out that most users have smaller data sets and in the aggregate, Mozy is profitable. Kind of like the way health insurance is <em>supposed</em> to work.</p><p>However, just like corrupted health insurance business models that want to squeeze profit out of even their sickest members, Mozy has switched to a model that will doubtless eject their heaviest data users. If you have more than 125 GB of data, you need to pay for that excess data in 20 GB chunks at $2/chunk. How does the math work out for me? If I buy 645 GB of total storage, it will cost me $61.99/month or $54.24/month if I sign up for two years again. That's a 13.9x increase in fees in a best case scenario, which I'm obviously not going to pay. I have until July of this year to decide whom my next databack provider is going to be, but it sure as hell isn't going to be Mozy.</p><p>So why did Mozy do this? I'm not sure, but I'd guess they wanted to get rid of the top 5% who were using up lots of storage. By making the fees ridiculously expensive, I'd say anyone with more than 125 GB of data will leave Mozy and take their heavy usage patterns with them. Mozy will think, short term, that they've "won" - they'll reduce their costs on storage by forcing all the users with lots of data to leave. Long term though, Mozy's reputation has been trashed and, worse, they've shown themselves to be a company completely lacking in integrity by changing the fundamental reason customers signed up with them to begin with: unlimited data backups.</p><p>Right now I'm looking at <a href="http://www.livedrive.com/Promotion/mozy" target="_blank">LiveDrive</a>, <a href="http://www.backblaze.com/index-o.html" target="_blank">Backblaze</a>, and <a href="http://b2.crashplan.com/" target="_blank">CrashPlan</a>. CrashPlan in particular has me interested because I'm already using it to act as a backup host for data from my in-law's computer and my sister's computer. They have a really innovative backup system that involves having encrypted blobs of your data on the hard drive of another computer. LiveDrive has a discount for people fleeing Mozy, and Backblaze developers their own storage servers which I've always found to be really cool.</p><p>One things for sure: I'm no longer a fan of Mozy and will be actively encouraging everyone within my sphere of influence to cancel their accounts when it's time for renewal.</p>

It's strange, a few days ago I was thinking that a tiered approach might make sense for those that wanted to pay for additional computers, or WHS support. I might have even considered putting in extra money for this.

But then today I got my Mozy notice indicating that my plan would go from $54/year to $131.89/year. According to their email I"m storing 137.39 gigabytes with a single computer.

That's quite an increase. I'm not sure what I'll do. I'm definitely back in the market come March 1st. Which is probably their plan to begin with. Perhaps they want to push their heavy users to their Pro plan. I had considered doing a price comparison. At least then I might get WHS support.

Mozy can give you the credit for me even using them versus other competitors. You've given me something to think about concerning such an obscene increase in fees. To be honest I would have expected maybe a $10 increase to the unlimited and some lower end tiers, but this is crazy.

I think I'll check out the off-site backup landscape again. I noticed you didn't mentioned Carbonite, your previous service. Was that intentional?

If Mozy had said, "OK, we need to change our business model, we can't scale to the data storage costs right now, we need to price the unlimited plan at $9.99" I wouldn't have been happy, but I would have been OK with that because it's still a good deal. But to take me from $3.90 to over $50 is highway robbery.

I think I'll check out the off-site backup landscape again. I noticed you didn't mentioned Carbonite, your previous service. Was that intentional?

Ah, Carbonite. I used to use Carbonite (I actually helped them with their logo when they first started), but they irked me when they changed their backup plan to exclude videos by default – if you tag a folder full of vacation photos and videos for instance, the videos will NOT be backed up unless you go into the folder, manually select the video files, then tag them for backup. That’s just intellectually dishonest in my opinion – if a customer tags a folder for backup, they want ALL the files in that folder backed up. Carbonite does the same thing with EXE and ISO files; two formats that I use for digital software that I’ve purchased. Carbonite didn’t want to let me back up my purchased software, so I left them for Mozy.

I've been a really satisfied Crashplan customer (no relationship with company other than a paying customer). They're offering a 15% discount for Mozy customers who are coming over to them - it may be on their website, if not then it's in their recent Tweets. Unlimited backup, versioning of files (I'm sure there's a limit, but it's still cool), ability to back up multiple family PCs on one account, ability through their client to do backups to friend's pc's, local drives, etc., and the ability to do open file backups. I know a one year plan was $50, monthly plans are $5/month, and the prices slowly drop as you pay ahead.

I liked their ability to specify which folders are backed up as well. Too many programs try to make that easy for the consumer, but make it so dumbed down that you can't back up files stored outside of the "standard" folders.

One of the things I liked about Crashplan was that they don't have a "Server OS" restriction. Backblaze either wouldn't install on the server or required a much higher priced plan just for being on a server. I can't remember which right now, but I know it disqualified them.

I don't have any experience w/ LiveDrive. I don't remember them being a major player when I was evaluating a little while back.


So count a vote for Crashplan from a satisfied customer.

What are the advantages of online backup versus an external hard drive? It certainly can't be space and it seems like a one time purchase is preferable over monthly or annual payments but I'm sure you have good reasons for using the online approach and I'm curious why. Is it that all devices are at the same location therefore a safety concern?

Jason Dunn

What are the advantages of online backup versus an external hard drive?...Is it that all devices are at the same location therefore a safety concern?

Correct. An online backup is no substitution for a local backup because it's so slow to upload and slow to download (in comparison to a local drive); in the same way, a local backup is no substitution for an online backup because if you have a fire, flood, electrical surge, theft, or any other type of physical damage, odds are high that your external drive is going to get destroyed/stolen along with your primary drive.

If you're serious about protecting your digital memories, a three-prong solution is critical drive: master data, slave data (external drive), and off-site backup.

paschott
02-02-2011, 01:27 AM
Gotta agree with Jason on this one. A single local drive can go bad. Easy way to lose everything on it. It's really, really easy to start treating that large external drive as a place to not only store backups, but also to start storing the original. It wouldn't start intentionally, but I've seen it happen, especially as files grow larger.

One of the big advantages of an online backup is getting your files out of the house/office and somewhere less likely to be affected, or at least less likely to be affected at the same time as you having a HD failure.

While I realize it's a subscription service, I think it's cheap insurance to use an external service. I can only imagine what sort of grief I'd face if all of our family pics disappeared due to a hard drive failure.

I've seen it happen and, honestly, it's horrifying - especially the strain between husband and wife where the wife assumed the husband was backing up the treasured family photos and he wasn't...it's ugly. Real ugly. And for under $6 a month from a variety of services, it's simply foolish not to do backup in SOME fashion, preferably external AND online.

I don't think there's anyone that wants to tackle all that data - it would be kind of insane (though I too wish I could back up all that data!). Do what I do: install SyncbackSE and pull content from your WHS onto an external drive, then push all the data into the cloud via a backup service. It's not as much work as you think, and once it's running, it's 100% automated.

Although I should point out that this is only for the data on my network (files), not the bare-metal system backups. That would be an ungodly amount of data! :eek:

I *love* that Mozy sends the email below to me at 3:41 PM yesterday, after the entire Internet explodes with outrage. Funny thing: Harel Kodesk, president of Mozy, was working at Microsoft as a VP in the mobile group and brought Windows CE products to the market...and at the time I was one of five Windows CE MVPs and I met him and talked about how the Palm-sized PCs could be improved. Small world. :D

Dear Jason Dunn,

Thanks for being a valued Mozy subscriber. For the first time since 2006, we’re adjusting the price of our MozyHome service and wanted to give you a heads up. As part of this change, we’re replacing our MozyHome Unlimited backup plan and introducing the following tiered storage plans:

50 GB for $5.99 per month (includes backup for 1 computer)
125 GB for $9.99 per month (includes backup for up to 3 computers)

You may add additional computers (up to 5 in total) or 20 GB increments of storage to either of the plans, each for a monthly cost of $2.00.

While this policy takes effect for new MozyHome customers starting today, your MozyHome Unlimited subscription is still valid for the duration of your current 2 year term. In order to ensure uninterrupted service, you'll need to select a new renewal plan.

As the leader in online backup, we’re committed to continually providing the highest levels of service and protection that you’ve come to expect from us as well as delivering those innovations you’ve been asking for. For more information on the factors that led to this change, please read my note or visit our FAQ.

Be safe,
Harel Kodesh
President

Who are you saying "Really?" to? My original post. I don't care about system files. The data files I'm backing up are 630 GB+.

If you had a fire/flood/theft/disaster of some sort, what would happen to your data? Without an off-site backup, it's vulnerable.

I just wish I could find something to work with my WHS. Right now its conducting backups of all of my PCs, but there is now way to get those backkups online.

ASUS WebStorage is the only reasonably priced service that caters to WHS. And it is truly reasonable at $40/yr unlimited.

Sadly, it stinks. Badly. SLOWWWW data transfers--like dial-up slow at times--I think their servers must be in Tazmania. The software is "pretty" but horribly inefficient and inaccurate (especially the WHS plug-in). And the English translations are so painful as to be funny ("all your file are backuped")--on the client, the web, and their email communications. Not that translations are important, but it speaks to the overall quality of the service.

I'm fortunate to have the option of attaching an external drive to my work PC and using a sync service to do my backups. I've moved to this option now to get off-site backup for my irreplaceable files (just photos, personal videos, and documents). 'Course, I'm now forced to use Mesh, and we know how painful that is...

Tim Williamson
02-02-2011, 08:01 PM
After looking at the other backup options, CrashPlan really does look like the best (at least from their feature list).

Does anyone know if the 15% off deal expires? My Mozy subscription isn't over until May 2011, so I was thinking of waiting until then.

Gordo
02-02-2011, 10:55 PM
I am in similar boat, with 500+Gigs of data, Mozy has already saved my bacon once, but that pricing is outrageous. I will need to check my expiry date, but I haven't received an email notice yet.

Please post the service you move to as I for one will be following.

I am wondering about the ability to setup a backup server at another family members house and have my data automatically backed up like Mozy, except it will be to a cheap desktop in a basement. If anyone has any proposed solutions, please post.
:D

I'd ask them on Twitter (@crashplan) but I suspect it will be a short term thing. My Mozy account doesn't expire until June, but I think I'll sign up for Crashplan now and by the time all the same data is finished uploading (630 GB), it WILL be June. :D:D:D

You may want to give Crashplan a try. Most other services won't install on any sort of Server OS or will insist on upgrading. I was able to install Crashplan and get it running without issues. Admittedly, I don't know what WHS does as far as storage and such, but it may be worth a try. If not, then yeah - bump it to some external drive and back that up.

Jason Dunn

...[Drumroll]...

I've chosen Crashplan for my online backup provider. The four year discount + Mozy discount (http://is.gd/egjqj0) = $2.48/month. Killer! They have a nice refund policy that will refund you any un-used months, so there's no reason to not go for the four year plan to get the deepest discount.

Phillip Dyson
02-04-2011, 10:07 PM
I'm feeling Crashplan too. I'm trying to figure out the most efficient setup.
I basically have 4 laptops (one is my Mom's and doesn't live with me), one XP desktop that I was using for Mozy Backups and my WHS machine.
My WHS is not doing system backups, mostly just User folders on 3 of my machines.

I could get the Family Plan to cover the 4 laptops, or use the peer to peer aspect to bring all of the crashplan data to a single location and use the single computer unlimited plan.

I've been a Carbonite user for years. Just backup my data...no video or .exe, etc. Set it 'n forget it. I remember the good 'ol days when I used to store a Zip drive disk in my glove compartment and have my wife take a second copy to work to put in her desk drawer (My offsite storage).

Jason, I'd love to see some kind of data flow diagram on how you're going to setup.

I'm not the kind to create a diagram, but the short version is that I use Live Mesh to keep my documents, workspace (a folder on my desktop), and pictures folders in sync between all my PCs.

I have a computer that's on 24/7 to record TV shows, and it's what I have Crashplan installed on. I consider it the "master host" for my music and video files as well; it's the computer that I rip CDs and DVDs on.

I have my Windows Home Server which has all my music, photos, videos, archives, etc. Because I don't have Windows Live Mesh installed on my Windows Home Server (I refuse to do it until it's officially tested and supported), I use SyncbackSE to push certain folders from my 24/7 computer to the WHS (music, photos, etc.). I also use SyncbackSE to pull folders from the WHS (archives, Acronis TrueImage backups, etc.) and onto the 24/7 computer...which then gets backed up locally to an external hard drive and onto Mozy....now Crashplan.

I hope that makes some sense. :)

Phillip Dyson
02-07-2011, 08:27 PM
Thanks Jason, it makes sense.
A couple of questiions and stop me if its to personal or proprietary.

When you say "all of your PCs" does that include your wife's? Or other family members? Or does everyone share the same PC (laptops)?

I have 3 laptops (4 if you include my Mother that doesn't live with me) and I'm hoping for something that I can have confidence will be running consistently when I'm not necessarily there to check on it.

I constantly would peak at my Wife's laptop only to see that Live Mesh (then Live Sync) was not running because it failed to log in.

Perhaps Crashplan will prove to be a more robust application. That I can count on.

Jason Dunn

When you say "all of your PCs" does that include your wife's? Or other family members? Or does everyone share the same PC (laptops)?

That would be all my personal machines. My wife's computer, for instance, isn't included in that. Picasa and the Zune software are configured to get their content from the WHS, so there's no need to have Live Mesh installed on it.

I have 3 laptops (4 if you include my Mother that doesn't live with me) and I'm hoping for something that I can have confidence will be running consistently when I'm not necessarily there to check on it.

What data is on your mom's computer that you're trying to get back to your computer? Or is it the other way around?

Perhaps Crashplan will prove to be a more robust application. That I can count on.

Crashplan is backup software though, not file sync software...so I don't know how it would help in this scenario.

Maybe you can describe what you're trying to do?

Perhaps that's the distinction. I've been using synchronization as a means to an end. That end being backups.
I could use Crashplan to bring everything together and a single path to the cloud, or have them all go to the cloud directly.

Yes, if the goal of sync is really to back up, then I'd configure Crashplan on each computer to backup to your "mothership" computer, then have a paid Crashplan subscription on that computer to back up all the data. Though in some ways that may be overkill - you already have an off-site backup for your mother's computer for instance at your place. If that's the sole backup, however, putting it online isn't a bad idea.

Remember Crashplan can backup to an external drive then you can attach that backup to your main computer, saving transfer time.

Tim Williamson

I just switched to CrashPlan for our computers. The software is great, easy to use, and very intuitive. It's easy to setup any of the backup methods. My main problem is the estimate is 3 months to complete my backup (but I do have both mine and my wife's computers uploading at the same time). Once I have a full online backup it'll be bye bye Mozy.

Two things:

1) Do you have the option of upgrading your internet connection to something with faster upload speeds? Might be worth paying a bit more per month for a month or two if it means getting the backup uploaded faster.

2) What I did was select the data (folders) that were most important first, then uploaded that. When that was done after a few days, I tagged the second most important folders, etc.

Good tips! Right now we get a discount on our internet plan, so I don't want to mess that up by changing our plan. But your idea about tagging the most important files first is a great common sense idea (that I should have thought of)! :)

I opted for a 2 year subscription for the Crashplan+ Family Unlimited.
I figured, why add the complexity of having to figure out and maintain backup synchronization.

I'll just install it on all applicable computers. I installed it on my Mom's and My computer. For my computer I did just what Jason suggested. I unchecked a fairly large folder that I felt was "less" critical. So far I'm at 12.9 days remaining.

Once that is done I'll setup my wife's and daughter's. Their data is significantly smaller. I do have them both backed up to the WHS.

I like the fact that I get periodic emails on backup status, although I wish they had an Android App. Then I could monitor it on my phone.

I just joined the forum and I wanted to create a new thread for question #2, but I can't find the right option to do so. Can anyone help? Thanks.


Question#2

Is anyone out there using online backup for their digital images? I have about 500GB of mixed files to backup and I am trying to find a good online backup service specifically for business. I've tried Mozy but haven't been happy with it as of late and I'm skeptical about Carbonite after researching and reading the reviews. Any solid recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I just joined the forum and I wanted to create a new thread for question #2, but I can't find the right option to do so. Can anyone help? Thanks.

You go into the forum you post to post in and click on the New Thread button.

Is anyone out there using online backup for their digital images? I have about 500GB of mixed files to backup and I am trying to find a good online backup service specifically for business. I've tried Mozy but haven't been happy with it as of late and I'm skeptical about Carbonite after researching and reading the reviews. Any solid recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm using Crashplan for that. I have about 623 GB uploaded, and that includes all my JPEGs and raw photos. Crashplan is aimed more at consumers than businesses though, so I'm not sure what your business requirements are...they do have "Crashplan Business" though. :)

Also using Crashplan here with about 300GB's backed-up. I pay for the family plan (up to 10 PC's backed-up) so I have my wife and my PC's setup and recently setup my computer-challenged in-laws laptop to backup. I'd highly recommend Crashplan.
