I've been using Mozy after receiving an update via WasatchGirl to it's merits.
Initially, it was installed on my family's computer for their own backup. On Windows XP, it worked nice and simply, and in my favorite term for software, completely 'idiot proof'. I'm not one for having to fight to make software do what it was designed to do.
So, after purchasing my own MacBook in the past 5 months, one of the first installations was Mozy's new Mac software. Being highly beta software (released at version 0.4 if I remember correctly!), I was expecting some highly buggy software. Instead I got some rock-solid, and perfectly for backup software, non-intrusive. I was slightly surprised to find a different set of menus to what is offered on Windows (different operating systems, but should they not keep the front-end the exact same?), and if anything slightly more advanced functionality, but once again it has performed exactly as expected and is also highly 'idiot proof'. Like my Mac, it does exactly what's expected of it and the only time I ever remember it's even there is for the intermittent software updates (now to version 0.6 or so).
All in all, well worth installing if you're looking for a simple backup solution.
by default, you receive 2Gb for free in it's basic setup. There's only one premium option (again, very simple and removes any confusion), of unlimited storage for $5 per month. Pretty good if you ask me (although, I'm not sure my local telco would appreciate the first backup when it went to upload the 10Gb of photos and 30Gb of music! But that's a whole other issue :)
If anyone is looking for a link, email me directly and I'll pass you on a referral (I get an extra 250Mb per user added).
