We’re pretty sure that you would’ve tried out the ADrive, Openomy, MyBloop and even Google to help you upload those all important files and store them safely.

But, these free online storage options aren’t of the permanent sort as the million ads keep popping up on your download pages. Worse still, your files are deleted if your account has been inactive for a while. But, what’s scary is that these portals can shut shop anytime and disappear leaving your precious data in the lurch.

Here’s where Mozy comes into the picture and promises to keep our files, folders, documents, music and videos safe. Mozy is an online back-up service which is a boon if you have back up data to be stored. Like, if you wish to have a remote backup location for your emails, music, digital images, financial documents or any data which you want to save from theft, virus attacks or hard disk crashes, Mozy offers you a pretty neat option.

Mozy will offer you 2GB of free disk space via Mozy Home with upgrade options ($4.95/month), if you require unlimited back up space. Mozy provides open/locked file support which means that all your documents will be backed up, no matter whether they are opened or closed. The 128-bit SSL encryptions (used by banks) will keep your data secure while the 448-bit Blowfish encryption provides top notch security (from hackers and crashes) for your data on the back-up front.

The Automatic back-up option lets you set the time when your back-up is to be taken. What’s more, every small change in your data is stored and you also get the strongest email protection ever possible. Moreover, once the initial back-up is done, MozyHome ensures that all your backups are super fast as only those files which are changed are saved again.

Mozy scores a point as it saves and stores a copy of all your data in a remote location with tight security and also provides secure upload options to keep it safe. Most importantly, the data can be easily recovered and retrieved, in case of a catastrophe. If you sign up for MozyHome, you don’t have to cough in cash or pay the bills or bear the monthly payment grudge or go through complicated set-up process.
