MozyHome is an easy-to-use, fast, and secure backup service for any computer in any home.
MozyHome does not require an external hard drive, expensive subscription services, CD's or DVD's to burn. All you need is a broadband connection and you are ready to go.
Mozy is an online backup service which keeps a backup copy of your files in one of our data centers. If you lose your original files, you can get a copy of them from Mozy.
Note that Mozy is not a file sharing or archiving service. Other people will not be able to download your files.
So, if you delete an original file on your computer, Mozy assumes that you no longer need a backup copy and will remove it from our servers after 30 days.
Moreover, Mozy only uploads new files and the parts of an existing file that have changed.
NOTE: In order to use Mozy you must register HERE for a free account that offers 2 GB backup space.
Here are some key features of "MozyHome":
· Open/locked file support: Mozy will back up your documents whether they're open or closed.
· 128-bit SSL encryption: The same technology used by banks secures your data during the backup process.

· New and changed file detection: MozyHome finds and saves the smallest changes.
