Mozy cloud storage gives us a strong backup but not amazingly versatile elsewhere.
Mozy is limited in sync features. In starting Mozy comes up with backup services only but now it gives the facility of synchronization on top. It gives sync facility for one month in U.S $5.99 for one pc only but in U.S $9.99 it gives the same faculty for three pc.
Now it’s hard to compare its implementation process with Livedrive and other sync services as they use only 1 pc for both backups and sync. But Mozy uses/installs two: One for backup while other for sync and both are easy to use.
