Mozy is very easy to use: you can choose exactly the files you want to back
up, schedule the backups to take place daily, weekly, whenever you want.
And restoring requires a couple of mouse clicks from an easy-to-follow menu,
quickly and easily. Mozy installs a little program on your PC, then you
create an account on the website so that you can access your files anytime
you want to restore. I back up my files to several different locations, but
rely on Mozy to do it automatically so I don't have to think about it
(something that occasionally doesn't work the way I want it to -- the
thinking, I mean <bg>.)

I have been very interested in http://mozy.com/. for some time but didn't
know how "User Friendly" it really was...........(1) to upload to the
site..............(2) or to retrieve if was ever necessary. I am not very
technical minded and would like for someone who uses this service to "tell
it like it really is". I'd like, if it's easy.......... to be able to
save my work each day that I find new information.

I've read of other sites that offer this service but some who use them have
stated they have great trouble 'retrieving' their
information.............and to me if you can't retrieve it easily......what
I call "user friendly", then it would be of no use to me.

This is really important to me so I'd enjoy reading experience others have
have.
