| Thanks for being a valued Mozy subscriber. For the first time since 2006, we’re adjusting the price of our MozyHome service and wanted to give you a heads up. As part of this change, we’re replacing our MozyHome Unlimited backup plan and introducing the following tiered storage plans: 50 GB for $5.99 per month (includes backup for 1 computer)
125 GB for $9.99 per month (includes backup for up to 3 computers) You may add additional computers (up to 5 in total) or 20 GB increments of storage to either of the plans, each for a monthly cost of $2.00. While this policy takes effect for new MozyHome customers starting today, your MozyHome Unlimited subscription is still valid for the duration of your current 1 year term. Your new plan will take effect on your first renewal after March 1, 2011. Based on your current usage of 4 computers and 385.56 gigabytes, your renewal plan will be $439.89 for a 1 year term. As the leader in online backup, we’re committed to continually providing the highest levels of service and protection that you’ve come to expect from us as well as delivering those innovations you’ve been asking for. For more information on the factors that led to this change, please read my note or visit our FAQ. Be safe,

Based on your note above, for 385 gigs you're looking at about $36/month ($432/year) -- and that's before you get smoked on transferring all that data to Amazon, which will cost you about 10 cents a gig and run you about $39 for a one time transfer.
Once most those files hit S3 you won't have to re-send them (just backup newly changed files) but Mozy's $439.89 is still looking like the cheaper option.
