If you've been putting off choosing a backup vendor, we don't blame you. Most vendor websites get you so twisted up with unfamiliar tech talk that you're too confused to make a decision, and they all have a different vocabulary. Well, we know how you feel, because we found it confusing as well. That's why we've worked so hard to create the Compare Backup Vendors and Compare Business Continuity charts you'll find on this website, and why we'll continue to review the leading vendors based on three essential service areas - data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity.

Today, we'll take a closer look at Mozy. How do they rate in the areas of data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity? A leader in online backup services, Mozy is a very affordable option for some users, and they even have a free option with limited space. Their paid plan is offered at a great price, but they can't provide all the features you need if you're looking for a full-service backup vendor. See our pros and cons below.
