Designed as a consumer service, Mac Mozy leverages Apple's innovative Spotlight Search technology, allowing users to easily select the types of files they want to back up. The service installs quickly and runs quietly in the background. Backup speeds vary from user to user, largely determined by the upload speed of the consumer's internet connection.

Just thought I'd share that Mozy - a great online backup tool - has released a mac version of their backup client.
I've only just started mucking about with it, but so far it seems like a great service.
The free version gets you 2GB of online storage and for $4.95 you get unlimited storage!
Worth a look: http://www.mozy.com

Just subscribed and currently starting the long process of uploading 100gb of music.
So far so good. Excellent experience so far. The sets that are similar to Backups quickpicks make it real easy to automatically back up bookmarks, iCal, Address Book etc.

100gb?!!?
I've been working on 1.6GB of random stuff just to try it out, and that's been going for 4-5 hours now. It says 3.5 hours to go!
I hope your upload speed is better than mine (1 Mbit) ;)

How much would "unlimited" be?
is this a trick question?
:)I'm assuming unlimited really is unlimited. They just go on the assumption that most people will back up max 100GB or so and make their capacity calculations on that basis. They do stress that it is not designed for corporate entities.
I just signed up for the unlimited account and in the process of uploading about 40GB of data. Right now it says that its going to take a good 8 days! I'm hoping that's a hefty overestimation!

wow. i might have to give this a try. they've caught my interest at the very least. it does make .mac look terrible though. but since more and more alternatives to it are coming out, so much the better.

Excellent! I've been hoping they'd come out with a Mac client. Nicely done, good file selection dialogue, and a Menu Bar Extra. I'm currently getting ~ 350kb/sec upload.
If you sign up, please use my referral code 7GD273 so we can both get some extra free space! :D
