General Info: Mozy Backup is a cool online backup service, with versions for Macs and PCs. There are two types of Mozy accounts, Free, and Unlimited. Free comes with 2GB of space to back up to, while Unlimited can back up as much as you want. The unlimited plan costs $4.95 a month.

The Mozy client for Mac (Beta, Universal, requires Tiger or later) has two modes, both of which can be used at the same time. The first mode is Backup Sets, where you can choose a spotlight query, and have all files that spotlight returns be backed up. It has some predefined back up sets, for things like iTunes library, Word Files, etc. The second mode is where you can manually select files and folders to back up.

There are two ways to back up, scheduled, or on idle, and when it is backing up, it does so silently. You can check the status in the menu bar. The backups are all incremental, so the first backup is a lot longer than subsequent ones.

Mozy has a referral system, so if you are referred by someone, you and that person both get an extra 256MB. Here is my referral link: https://mozy.com/?code=HSC4ZA

Price: Free, or $4.95 a month for Unlimited.
