I'd stick with mozy, but 50GB is too small. I have about 89GB in Mozy right now and if I could get that for the $5 per month, I wouldn't go anywhere. Mozy is pretty slow, so backing up even more data isn't very practical. Also, their system doesn't handle large files very well. My 89GB is just pictures, personal movies, documents, and source code.

Have you ever tried a restore from Mozy? I backed away from them when I did. Apparently, there is no 'resume' functionality when restoring. That means putting down a laptop to restore 50 gb, have a connection failure or needing to move the computer from office to home after 30 gb, and then needing to restart from scratch. That make me go %( - and I still haven't been able to cancel my Mozy account, after 2 months, because despite what the documentation says there is no 'unsubscribe' link in your profile and the customer support seems to be an email black hole.

Just venting I guess, but beware if you are trusting your data to Mozy...

I have less pictures and data. I am using Google Storage. It costs very less ( $5 per 20GB per Year).
