As some of you know I recently made a career move to EMC - specifically EMC Global Services, Microsoft Practice. Every once in a while I'll get an EMC press release in my Inbox about a company we've acquired, or some other important 'public-facing' news. Note: Don't worry - I won't bore you with every EMC press release. After all, this is my personal blog ;)
Anyway...this morning I got a press release about EMC's acquisition of Berkeley Data Systems, the provider of Mozy Online Backup and Recovery. Although I haven't used Mozy myself (yet) it looks like pretty good stuff. According to Nick Berardi at Coder Journal it even works on Vista x64 (something I appreciate more since my move to 64-bit).
If you're like me and have family/friends who occasionally ping you to rescue their lost data, you might want to point them to MozyHome. Heck, there's even a free version that supports up to 2GB of data. Drop me a comment if you've used the service or know someone who has. I'll try it out on one of my pro-bono clients and report back in a future post. Cheers!
