infomax467 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 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! Quote
freeztar Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Welcome to Hypography infomax. Have you tried to install it after reinstalling windows? If not, would you be willing to try? If it doesn't work again, don't use it. :) Quote
alexander Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Honestly, no software is ever glitch free... and when you add a glitchy system like windows, that you need to sometimes break just to get it to work, you are bound to have more problems. Add to that the absolutely stupendous registry, horrible file system, and an OS that never cleans after itself, and a volatile cocktail can break software with even the best intentions. I know people who back up with mozy, i, personally, wouldn't and wouldn't recommend it... Quote
