MozyHome

To get started with MozyHome, just download the installer from the website and click through the basic install process. You need to create an account with an email address and password of course, but aside from that one step, Mozy starts backing up your computer right away.

Once you make your selections and hit OK, Mozy will start backing up your files. The app estimates how long the first backup will take, so you'll know to leave your computer up and running for a while.

There's a host of deeper options within the program for customizing the backup schedule, changing the data sets to back up, throttling it during certain times of day to limit how much bandwidth it uses.

One of MozyHome's unique features is called Mozy 2xProtect, which lets you schedule backups to a connected device, an external hard drive for example, in addition to online backup storage.

From your desktop, you can right-click any file that's been saved to Mozy and select to restore the backed-up file. It's convenient, but you can't get to all the previous versions of files and restore the one you need, as you can from the website.

There are Mozy mobile apps for both Android and iOS devices, but both look outdated and the app lagged when we tested it on a Google Pixel running Android 8.0.
