Mozy online backup fights crime, coupon saves 15%

Posted by kent on September 22nd, 2009

Online backup provider Mozy has introduced a new discount for NextAdvisor visitors. Using the Mozy coupon code NEXT you can get 15% off the cost of their backup services. The discounts really compound when you take into account the annual plan discounts. If you sign up for one year, you receive one month free. A two-year commitment gets you three months free. All told that's like paying only $3.85 or $3.16 per month, respectively.

In related news, last week we posted a story about a man who used remote access to locate his stolen PC. Now Mozy's website tells us of a customer who used online backup to locate his stolen computer:

The individuals who had my stolen computer didn’t realize Mozy was backing up their photos and personal documents. I restored the files online, found their names and address, and turned the information over to police. Thanks to Mozy, I now have my computer back again.

It's a great unintended use of technology and it also attests to just how easy and transparent Mozy's software is. Check out our review, and see how Mozy stacks up against the competition with our online backup service reviews and comparison chart.
