Reading through some posts on the Mozy Community Forums, there is an expected backlash from longtime Mozy users, and many are jumping ship and running to alternative services. Of course you have the option is to drop Mozy altogether and start using a new backup service.
Now that you are under 50GBs your Mozy plan should auto renew to the $5.99/50GB plan on your next billing date. This will push the settings to the Mozy servers, and once the backup is complete, you will see the “Files backed up” reflect your newly excluded files.
#CANCEL MOZYHOME ACCOUNT UPGRADE#
If you find yourself unchecking everything in order to fit under the 50GB limit, then I suggest you upgrade your Mozy account to add more storage.Īfter selecting or rather de-selecting files that you no longer want to backup, save the Settings, and run a backup. This part gets tricky though, deciding what you want to exclude from the backup. Basically what I did was go through my user folder, and uncheck what I deemed not critical enough to backup. I am pretty specific on what I back up, so I use the File System tab to choose the exact paths that I want backed up.
Double-clicking the Mozy icon in the system tray will bring up the Mozy status window.Ĭlick on the Settings button, and you will be presented with the Mozy Settings window. If you don’t want to pay for more storage space, you can reduce the amount of data that Mozy is backing up. Reduce the amount of files included in your backup to 50GB or less so you can stay on the cheapest MozyHome plan – $5.99. Oddly, Mozy had preselected the 125GB/3Computer plan for me, which technically wasn’t accurate, so I could change the settings to the 50GB+2x20GB plan for a total of 90GB which would cover my current backup storage requirements.Ģ. You also have the option to select your plan settings by clicking on the Change Renewal Plan link. Click on the My Plan link on the left navigation pane, and you will see the recommended renewal plan which will be automatically selected on your next renewal date. There is a “renewal plan” link in the notification email, which will take  you to the Mozy website.Īfter logging in, you will be presented with your account page, and an alert message. Mozy has made it pretty simple to upgrade your plan to fit your current backup needs. Stay with MozyHome, and upgrade to the Mozy recommended plan. At the end of yesterday’s post about MozyHome dropping its Unlimited backup package, I sort of left it open ended, as in, what should you do next?ġ.
