We’ve just finished posting our Mozy 2.0 review – check out all the new features Mozy has added in the latest version of their online backup software, including local backup to an external hard drive!

With these new features, Mozy has become the first online backup service to receive a full 5-star rating from OnlineBackupsReview.com

In case you missed the news last week, Mozy has officially opened up service to the UK and Ireland.

As an Internet-based company, this announcement may seem surprising. After all, users in the UK and Ireland could previously backup their data with Mozy. However, with closer data centers now available, users in the UK and Ireland can expect to see faster upload speeds.

In addition, users are now able to pay in their local currency. While £4.99 per month for unlimited backup is still a bargain, it’s still a 52% premium over $4.99 USD users were paying before. That additional cost gives users faster access to their data (thanks to physically closer data centers) and better security, thanks to stricter UK data security standards.

Users can signup for Mozy in the UK at mozy.co.uk or in Ireland at mozy.ie.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen some incredible things in this world (more on this later). To be with nature and stare in awe of its magnificence is something we should all stop and do once & a while.

Online Backups Review is committed to working with Mother Earth, so today we’re making two announcements:

First, we’ve made a donation to CarbonFund.org, offsetting the carbon footprint of our servers & small office for the next year. While we don’t have as many servers as some of the big online backup companies, we’ve glad to be doing our part.

Second, from today (Earth Day) through Arbor Day (Friday the 30th) we will plant a tree for every Mozy account signed up through us. It’s really simple… get your 15% Mozy promotional code, which tracks the customer came from us. Then working with the Arbor Day Foundation,U.S. Forest Service, and National Association of State Foresters, we’ll have a tree planted for each paid order from April 22nd through April 30th.

This program is being run exclusively by OnlineBackupsReview.com; trees will only be purchased and planted for paid orders referred by us. The best way to do this is to use our Mozy promotional code and save 15% with your order.

Save 15%, save your data, save the planet. Everybody wins.
