Not sure if anyone else is using mozy online backup or not but they have changed their policy from unlimited to quite expensive if you go past their 125GB plan, mine is going from ~50USD per year to almost 400USD !
their FAQ here on the changes http://mozy.force.com/support/mozyhome?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=MillinerLaunch-WayOver&utm_campaign=SpecialAnnouncements&ref=36b792db
you may not realize it but you probably have an auto renewing membership which means you will get dinged once your current plan goes from unlimited to the new style !
I am canceling mine, switched to crashplan where its 140USD for a 4 yr unlimited plan, and actually the interface is better than mozy ! and it actually works like it should. I had quite a few problems with Mozy, like the fact it would just randomly stop backing up or it would say I have 0MB of data when there was over 300GB. And on MAC you can do local disk backups which Mozy only had for PC.
here is a link to how to get a refund on your account for those that are interested http://mozy.custkb.com/mozy/app/selfservice/portalsearch.jsp?DocId=78627&ssdFilterCommunity10=0&Hilite=refund
there is a big thread in the mozy forums on the tons of unhappy people http://community.mozy.com/t5/My-Account/New-MozyHome-Plans/td-p/16007
So if anyone is using mozy I suggest you read the pricing plan changes before your plan expires ;)
my backup to crashplan should be done in about a month :)
