For $54.45 you get unlimited storage space. For me, I have over 200 GB backed up with Mozy, and I pay about $52/year with the 2 year plan. If I was to use SafeCopy, I would be paying $135 for two years opposed to $103.95 for two years with Mozy.As for interrupting file backup, unless you have large video files, the time taken to restart the file backup shouldn't be too long. If your backup is interrupted, you only start the backup where it left off.In the end, however, you should always go with who are comfortable with, since a backup plan must conform to you.

I haven't tried it, since I'm still on the same machine, but I'm hoping that the experience isn't what you described.I'll have to update this post if I ever switch machines.

I didnt want to do this as my old computer died (or was about to die). I had my data from a clone. When I changed the name of the registered computer I lost all my data (it was considered trashed). Apparently I could access this for the next 30 days. Great. But now I have to upload the 80GB of data again. I have a great dl speed but my upload is only 1.2; this takes days and days to do. not fun. I upgraded my computer; technical said I could just add a new account.

No matter how good the backup system is, if you can't get your data back quickly (whether in part or in its entirety) the system is completely worthless.
