I opened Activity Monitor and found that the MozyHomeBackup process was using about 100% CPU (maxing out one of my MacBook Pro's dual cores), heating up my Mac when it was supposed to be doing nothing! Force Quit that. And, my fans kicked into gear once it showed that it HAD stopped. Oh, when I clicked Stop it took several minutes to do so. Find something else would be my recommendation - it's clear to me that whoever is developing this software cannot build a product that runs well on Macs. In short, still the same slow, bloated mess. The Console.app shows the following error multiple times: CoreEndianFlipData: error -4940 returned for rsrc type FREF (id 129, length 7, native = no) After examining files for a half hour, it showed that it was starting a backup, which involved another ten minutes of "Communicating with server." MozyHome.app crashed the first time I tried to open it. I have mine throttled as far as upload, but that didn't stop it from immediately attempting a backup process. Still _KILLS_ the performance on your computer. Just tried this new version after having it not installed for a couple months (and totally non-functional for a couple before that!). Fixed an issue for some users that prevented the proper rotation of the backup software log files.Fixed an issue for users of MozyPro or MozyEnterprise that caused the backup process to fail if the administrator changed the encryption key type in the default configuration and also selected the option to enforce changes.Fixed an issue that caused the backup software in some situations to display incorrect values for file sizes and the number of backed up files.Fixed an issue for users of MozyPro or MozyEnterprise that caused the Use a personal key option to be available when selecting an encryption key option, even though this option was disabled by the administrator.The characters were, carriage return (\r), line feed (\n), and trailing spaces. Fixed an issue that caused the backup process to fail if you backed up a file with certain special characters in the filename and then deleted the file.Fixed an issue that prevented the restore window from opening if you clicked Restore Files within the Summary tab and then clicked somewhere outside the backup software before the restore window opened.If a switch happens, how will the backed up data from one platform make it to the other platform? Will they migrate the data for customers or simply say they have to start new on the new platform and use some type of utility to access their old data if they need to? It’s not clear how compatible the different data formats stored in the proprietary clouds really are.Note: Now requires a 64-bit Intel processor. ![]() ![]() Carbonite and Mozy are unique platforms and each has its own cloud storage (and data centers or co-locations). This is where current Mozy (or Carbonite) consumer customers get hung out to dry.įinally, there’s the question of data transfer. By splitting the products to focus on different markets it makes it much easier for them to differentiate who to sell what product to. This is apparent in looking at the current positioning on each website, Mozy highlights solutions for the enterprise while Carbonite highlights solutions for consumers and small business. My guess is that one of the products (most likely Mozy) will be positioned for medium to large enterprises while Carbonite will be positioned for the consumer, home office, and small business. If you don’t think users will get switched from one platform to another, think about how difficult it is for a company to have 2 products targeting the same customer personas. One of the products (most likely Mozy) will be positioned for medium to large enterprises while Carbonite will be positioned for the consumer, home office, and small business. What’s going to happen for all the Mozy customers if Carbonite plans to switch them over to Carbonite? Will customers be happy being forced to use new software? Carbonite has already quietly raised their prices for many of their products so how will that compare to what Mozy customers are currently paying for a similar service? While acquisitions typically work out in the long term, there are always issues in the short term, most notably for customers of the company getting acquired. I have no special insights as to what Carbonite plans with Mozy but I do have some speculations. While other acquisitions that Carbonite has made, like Evault and Doubletake, helped them round out their technology portfolio, what does Mozy give them? Carbonite and Mozy have long been competitors in the small business/home office backup market so at first, it appears that Carbonite just acquired its biggest competitor. Last week we learned that Carbonite is acquiring yet another disaster recovery company, Mozy. ![]()
