Problem with Mozy [October 4 Update]

October 4, 2007 Review

After 5 months of testing, back and forth with Mozy support and eventually being assigned a Mozy Macintosh developer to resolve my issues encountered I was finally able to backup my selected files to the Mozy server automatically. This was all accomplished with version 0.6.2.4 of Mozy Client for Macintosh. Today Mozy informs me that [...]

Problem with Mozy [August 28 Update]

August 28, 2007 Review

After being assigned a specific contact, Ben, from the Mozy Macintosh Support, the responses from Mozy has become much more efficient and specific. I hope this is something that Mozy has recognized and changed for future Mac users. Anyway, on with my experience on this version of Mozy for Mac (0.6.2.2 (23015)) which Mozy released [...]

Problem with Mozy [August 22 Update]

August 22, 2007 Review

Today I received a reply from Moyz Support on my last report of problems with their Mozy for Mac version 0.6.2.0 (1.0). This time it only took 3 days for them to reply. The one thing different about this, is that during the past 3 days, someone from Mozy sent me an email saying that [...]

Problem with Mozy [July 19 Update]

July 19, 2007 Review

When the set up and scanning of my Mac went some what smoothly I thought Mozy has finally corrected all the problems for this “Alpha class” software for the Mac. After numerous attempts of the background Mozy application trying to back up my 2.2GB of data to Mozy server. I spent some time looking at [...]

Problem with Mozy [July 17 Update]

July 17, 2007 Review

I finally have time to try Mozy again. So I installed it again, followed the setup and allowed it to run in the background. After Mozy ran for 2.5 hours an error dialog appeared with the following message: Unable to connect to backup server (ConnectionError0) The dialog has a hyperlink on the error message, when [...]

Problem with Mozy [July 15 Update]

July 15, 2007 Review

Mozy support finally replied to me on August 1st but there were two conflicting replies from Mozy support. One tells me to try the new version and the other the other instructed me to go into command line and execute the following: $ cd /Library/Application\ Support/Mozy $ sudo rm -f state.db it is quite obvious [...]

Problem with Mozy [July 6 Update]

July 6, 2007 Review

Mozy support replies to me asking me to send them the log file. They first tells me to go to “C:\”, which was silly as that was terminologies for a Windows OS computer. I had to send them an email reminding them that I was using Mac OS X. So now they tells me that [...]

Problem with Mozy [July 1 Update]

July 1, 2007 Review

Now I am running Mozy for Mac OS X version 0.6.0.0. It no longer requires me to be in an account in Mac OS X with administrator rights. As I had pointed out previously that is definitely not a good idea. Now when I ran Mozy on my Mac, it keeps triggering Little Snitchwanting to [...]

Problem with Mozy [May 7 Update]

May 7, 2007 Review

Another Mozy technical support reply: Make sure you’re running it as administrator, and make sure your clients stay up to date. This is most likely a bug, and if so, it should be fixed in the next revision. You can probably guess what I say to them. How can any software developer / company tells [...]

Problem with Mozy [May 5 Updates]

May 5, 2007 Review

Mozy released a new version [v0.4.1.4 (19867M)] of the Mac OS X client, so I was eager to try it immediately hoping that it will resolve my problem. Unfortunately, the problem with the “Scanning Backup Sets…” is still there. Of course I immediately reported the problem to Mozy, and they replied that Mozy is a [...]
