Mozy Mac support moves out of Beta

May 2nd, 2008 - Posted by Joe

Our top rated online backup service, Mozy, announced this week that their Mac OSX version of their service has moved out of its beta testing mode and into general release. This means that Mac users will have the same level of stability and support as PC users.
