Mozy Online Back-Up Problems

[infomax467]

I installed MOZY FREE Backup software on my computer by following their instructions.
After installation, my computer kept freezing and then I got the Windows Blue Screen of Death!
Basically, MOZY FREE Backup CRASHED my computer. I could not even do a system restore. I had to restore my computer from scratch. I am still in the process of putting back all my programs and files, this is very time consuming.
Furthermore, after I backed up my files, I could not retrieve them using another computer. It kept telling me that I had to register and install MOZY Backup, it just would not retrieve my previous registration.
I am still not able to retrieve my files. Luckily, I kept local backups on some DVD's. MOZY may be free, but there is always a catch. Please be aware Mozy free backup could crash your computer?
Maybe that's how they get you; then they tell you have to purchase one of their plans???
FYI: I have 2GB of RAM and a 2.0 GHz AMD processor and it still CRASHED it!

Well, change backup solutions.

I used to use Mozy (free) perfectly well a few years ago for 6 months, until one day completely at random it decided to BSOD my PC. It also had problems with drives with hundreds of thousands of small files where I only wanted to back up a few things.

Now I do a manual off-site rsync and back up to a USB stick.

I like online backup and favor BackupandShare.com.It is a great service for personal use or people looking for inexpensive online backup.It is very simple to use with features like incremental automatic and scheduled backup. With backupandShare Windows mobile backup solution comes free. After using BackupandShare.com, I don’t want to switch to another backup service.

Does it support UNC paths?
