Mozy 2.0 For Windows Launched: Mozy’s Answer to Faster, Safer Backup

Mozy 2.0 for Windows is finally released! For some time now, Mozy has been hinting at a new Mozy version that’s many notches higher than the current one. And now that Mozy 2.0 has already been unveiled, the company takes pride in what this latest version has to offer. Let’s find out what’s gotten them so excited.

According to the Mozy site, with Mozy 2.0 for Windows, users can now:

Enjoy an improved, easy-to-use client interface.
Ease and simplicity for users are what Mozy had in mind when they designed the new client interface. In addition to being more customizable and flexible, users will find this version’s interface to be easier to configure, understand, and navigate.

Enjoy faster backup transfer speed.
Say goodbye to data transmissions that take just about forever. By making some changes in the transfer process, Mozy 2.0 is capable of file uploading that’s up to 25% faster than the speed of the previous version.

Get 2x the backup protection.
Enjoy the best of both (backup) worlds! With the introduction of the Mozy 2xProtect package, it’s now possible to backup your computer files through the company’s online servers and through a local external hard drive using only a single backup service – Mozy 2.0, of course. It’s the ideal setup for anyone who wants the security of an online backup service, and the convenience and retrieval speed of a local backup.

With these new features, no wonder the Mozy guys are beside themselves with anticipation. We can’t wait to try it out ourselves. For Mac users, the wait shouldn’t be long as the company is also coming out with a Mozy 2.0 for Mac later this year.

If you still haven’t gotten around to using an online backup solution, there’s no better time to do it than now. For current Mozy backup subscribers, upgrading to the latest version is absolutely free.
