First Unlimited Online Backup for the Mac
Berkeley Data Systems Launches Mac Mozy Beta
Unlimited Backup for $4.95 a Month
SALT LAKE CITY (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) April 27, 2007 --
Berkeley Data Systems releases Mac Mozy public beta –
the first unlimited online backup service for Mac users worldwide. At
$4.95 a month, the service allows millions of Mac users to encrypt and
automatically backup all of their digital media content online,
including collections from iTunes and iPhoto.
“The public beta was built by Mac engineers
who understand the needs of the Mac community,”
says Josh Coates, founder and CEO of Berkeley Data. “With
more than 1,000 participants in our limited beta, we’re
excited to be the first to embrace the Mac community with this unlimited
online backup service.”
Designed as a consumer service, Mac Mozy leverages Apple’s
innovative Spotlight Search technology, allowing users to easily select
the types of files they want to back up. The service installs quickly
and runs quietly in the background. Backup speeds vary from user to
user, largely determined by the upload speed of the consumer’s
internet connection.
Mac Mozy offers an added measure of privacy by allowing its users to
choose between a Mozy encryption key and a private encryption key.
Incremental backups and block level differentials are included, which
means subsequent backups complete at a much faster rate than the initial
backup. Mozy’s servers also retain the most
recent version of a file as well as 30 days worth of previously modified
file versions. Customers may retrieve files or versions of the files via
the internet or by requesting a DVD restore with next-day delivery.(a)
Berkeley Data Systems is the creator of Mac Mozy and Mozy for Windows.
Since the launch of Mozy for Windows in April 2006, the company has
scaled to more than 180,000 customers. It now offers online backup to
consumers and businesses from the small offices to the large
enterprises. Berkeley Data is industry leader in online backup with the
first unlimited online backup service for the Mac.
