While owning a Mac often confers a sense of invincibility due to the exceptional product quality of Apple products, don’t forget that your data is still at risk. So for all you Apple fans there is the new Mozy for Mac 1.5 release client.

Key Improvements with 1.5

• Memory Usage – The program will run faster and won’t bog down your system resources, making for faster backups and restores
• Simpler – They reduced the number of options in the menus to make your life a little easier
• Transparent Configuration – Thanks to the status indicator during setup and warnings if you’re closing the process before it finishes you won’t have to worry about accidental mistakes

Just remember that 6% of all PCs will suffer an episode of data loss in any given year. If you’re one of those unlucky souls Mozy will have your backup.

One of the easiest ways to use Mozy to restore your lost data is through the web restore feature. The first thing you’re going to do is go the the Mozy login page and sign in. Once signed in you need to click the My Computers link and on the next page click the Restore Files page. Once here you’ll want to select the File System tab and choose all the files you want to restore.



When finished click Continue in the lower right hand corner. You’ll now have to choose one of two delivery methods:

1. Web Restore – Choose this option and Mozy will email you a link to download your files. If you selected a lot of files this may take a couple days, but remember that the link will only work for 7 days.
2. DVD Restore – Mozy will mail you a DVD containing your files. However, there is a processing and handling fee for this option.

Once you have your files (either via the emailed link or DVD) you just save them to the desired location on your computer. Congratulations you should now be ready to rock and roll again.
