Middle Market Deals and how to buy, sell and raise capital from $5 to $500 million

The world has waited since the advent of computers for a painless backup solution.  The day has come.  Mozy is here.

Utah-based Berkeley Data Systems, led by Josh Coates, has launched a new service at Mozy.com, that provides a free or low cost, remote back-up solution over your broadband Internet connection.

I signed up this week just to try it out.  I was thrilled.  It took about three minutes to complete the entire process of turning on the system.  One minute to sign up.  One minute to download the software.  One minute to configure it.

It works in the background, when you aren't using your computer (or much of it).  It did take about two days to back up all four gigabytes of my data, but now it just adds the changed or new files to the database and loads them onto the encrypted site.

We have now adopted this as an official back-up methodology for our firm.  Every computer is getting connected to Mozy.

Mozy offers a free bump in storage capacity if you refer a friend.  Full disclosure:  if you click on the Mozy link above and sign up, I'll get a free bump in my storage capacity.

Honestly, I've never been a good backer upper, but from now on, I'm set. 

From the Mozy site, I note:
