MozyPro Overview
MozyPro is a secure and reliable backup solution for your business needs. Through the easy-to-use MozyPro client interface, you can customize your file selection and backup scheduling. The MozyPro backup service saves 30 days of data history for each file you back up. In the event that you need to restore files (in the case of computer failure, loss, etc.), MozyPro makes it easy to recover the data via the MozyPro client. MozyPro encrypts your data locally before it is sent to Mozy data centers over an SSL connection. Your backups are then stored in the Mozy data center with either 448-bit Blowfish or 256-bit AES encryption to ensure your data is protected. It's easy to install and configure the MozyPro client. Simply register at https://mozy.com/registration/business, download and install the client, select the files you need to back up, and you're set to go.

Installing MozyPro
To install MozyPro, you must perform the following tasks.
Topics:
Downloading MozyPro Installing the MozyPro Client Using the Setup Wizard
Downloading MozyPro
You can download MozyPro on any computer. You may need to do this for any of these reasons: To manually upgrade to the latest version of MozyPro on a computer you are currently backing up. To start backing up a new computer you've added to your account. To start backing up a replacement computer if your old computer was lost, stolen or damaged. Tip: Before you install MozyPro on your new computer to replace a computer you can no longer use, you should restore all the files backed up from your old computer. To do this, log in to your account online and restore from the Web. This is a good idea because once your replacement computer is backed up, any files that are not on your new computer are marked for deletion from the Mozy servers after 30 days. This approach gives you as much time as you need to be sure all your files are safely restored to your new computer. Only after you are sure, install MozyPro to tell Mozy you've replaced the old computer and to continue backing up those files. To download MozyPro on any computer: 1. In your browser's address bar, type http://mozy.com/downloads/mozyprosetup.exe, then press Enter. 2. Save the file somewhere you will easily find it, such as your desktop. Now you can install MozyPro.

Installing MozyPro
while still over your limit, MozyPro backs up your files until your limit is reached, and any files over your limit are not backed up. If you need more storage space, contact your administrator. Note: If you discover you are backing up more than 100 GB, you may be interested in using Data Shuttle for your first backup. Today, this is available only to customers in the U.S. with an address which is not a post office box. To inquire about using Data Shuttle, contact your Mozy sales representative. For more information, see Understanding Data Shuttle on page 175.
Figure 2: Select Files 1. (Conditional) If you have a space limitation, choose one of these options. Ask your administrator for more space. Select the sets of files you want to back up until your limit is reached. If you go over your limit, you can deselect files until you're back under. If you need more precision in selecting files, you can click Settings on the next window.
If the selected files exceed your limit and you continue, MozyPro backs up your files until your limit is reached. Any additional files are not backed up. 2. (Optional) To change the encryption used to encrypt your files, click Change Encryption. For more information, see Changing Encryption on page 15. Standard encryption uses 448-bit Blowfish, which is recommended. 3. Click Next. Changing Encryption MozyPro encrypts your data before it is sent to the backup servers. While the default encryption key is recommended, you can choose a different key to suit your needs. For more information, see Understanding MozyPro Encryption on page 16. Depending on your configuration, you can choose from the following:
15
Use Mozy's key with 448-bit Blowfish encryption Use a private key (this is a 256-bit AES key) Caution: If you select Use a private key, you are responsible for remembering that key. If you forget your personal key, you will not be able to access your backed up files when they are restored. After you have set up MozyPro, you cannot change the encryption being used without reinstalling MozyPro and reuploading all of your data.
Figure 3: Changing Encryption 1. Select the encryption method you want. If you choose to use a private key, enter the key by copying or typing it into the Enter Key field or by importing a key file using the Browse button next to the Import Key field. Caution: If you lose your key, neither you nor Mozy will be able to decrypt your data. 2. Click OK when done. Understanding MozyPro Encryption This topic answers these common questions about encryption in MozyPro: What Is Encryption? on page 16 What is Standard, or Default Encryption? on page 17 What is Personal Encryption? on page 17 Which Encryption Type is Recommended? on page 17 Can I Change Encryption After Installing MozyPro? on page 17 What Is Encryption? In simple terms, encryption applies a secret code to your files, making them unreadable unless you have both the key and the means to unlock the encryption code. Files you back up with MozyPro are encrypted on your computer, before they are sent over the Internet using a server-side SSL connection to MozyPro servers. Your files remain encrypted on the MozyPro servers. This extra measure of privacy ensures that, in the highly unlikely event that someone manages to obtain your files, they are useless. If you choose to use Mozy 2xProtect with
16
Installing MozyPro
MozyPro, your locally-backed up files are encrypted the same way. For more information, see Understanding Local Backup on page 40. What is Standard, or Default Encryption? Standard MozyPro encryption uses a 448-bit Blowfish encryption key, shared among a portion of MozyPro customers. Mozy separately stores the key. This lets us decrypt your files to present them to you when you use the Web or mobile apps to preview, search or directly download files you back up. For more information, see Understanding MozyPro Encryption Options on page 17. What is Personal Encryption? With personal encryption, the 256-bit AES encryption key is provided by you and known only to you. The key can be any characters, symbols, or numbers, and can be as short or long as you like. When you provide the key, you can type it, paste it, or import it from a plain text file. To ensure you can restore files, you must either remember your key indefinitely, or you can save it and store it separately. If you save it, a plain text file is saved to the location you choose, which contains only the characters you provided. To ensure you can always provide your key, it's best not to save it on your computer, which could fail, or anywhere else which you could easily lose or damage, such as a USB stick. Mozy does not store your personal encryption key. This means you cannot use the Web or mobile apps to preview or search files you back up, because we cannot decrypt them to present them to you. This also means that if you lose or forget your key, you cannot decrypt your files when restoring them and Mozy cannot help you. Indeed, even under force of law, Mozy cannot decrypt your files if you choose personal encryption. For more information, see Understanding MozyPro Encryption Options on page 17. If you ever need to restore and you cannot provide your personal key, neither you nor Mozy can decrypt your files. When you reinstall MozyPro (such as when you have a new, upgraded, or reinstalled hard drive or OS, or a new computer), you can avoid backing up all your files again by ensuring all your files are on the computer, and then providing the same personal encryption key during installation. Which Encryption Type is Recommended? When you install MozyPro, your files are encrypted with the standard key unless you choose otherwise. You can choose to use a personal key instead. We recommend the standard, default encryption. It ensures the privacy of your files and it permits you to take advantage of the full range of features and services offered for use with MozyPro. The benefit of personal encryption is maximum privacy, but it prevents you from using all the features and services of MozyPro. For more information, see Understanding MozyPro Encryption Options on page 17. Can I Change Encryption After Installing MozyPro? You cannot change your encryption type after you have installed MozyPro. The encryption used at the time you install MozyPro is permanently associated with all files backed up from that computer. This means that after you install MozyPro, the only way to change your encryption type is to uninstall MozyPro, delete that computer from your account, then reinstall, choosing your encryption type at that time. You will need to upload all your files again. Understanding MozyPro Encryption Options When you install MozyPro, you can use either the default, standard encryption for your backups, or you can choose to use a personal key. To make the best choice, you should understand the differences between standard and personal encryption and the implications of those differences. For more information, see Understanding MozyPro Encryption on page 16.

Setup Complete
Review the information in the Setup Complete dialog box to understand how long your backup might take. The first backup takes a while because all of your selected files must be encrypted and then sent to the backup servers. The time to complete the initial backup depends on the how busy your computer is and how fast your Internet connection is. This is a common issue with all online backup services.

25
Note: If you are specifying the name of a file, and if that name contains a space, you must enclose the entire name within quotation marks. For example, if the file name is expense reports, you must type "expense reports".
Folder Name
Select one of the following from the next drop-down list. is is not starts with doesn't start with ends with doesn't end with Specify the word or characters in the text box, and then select the desired criteria that you want to search: Files or Files and folders.
Note: If you are specifying the name of a folder, and if that name contains a space, you must enclose the entire name within quotation marks. For example, if the folder name is my docs, you must type "my docs". Configuring Microsoft Volume Shadow Services Backup Set Rules For server backups, you might want to back up Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, SYSVOL, registry, and COM+ data. This helps for quick restoration when you have data loss. Mozy makes this process easy for you. For Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, SYSVOL, registry, and COM+ data, MozyPro uses the native Microsoft VSS writers to back up the data while the services are running. Microsoft VSS support is only available on Windows 2003 server or later. Important: This functionality is only available with a MozyPro server license. If these services are running on your machine, the MozyPro client automatically detects the available services and displays them in the Backup Sets tab. To back up these applications for file sets, select the check box next to the backup set. The MozyPro client then automatically uses the Microsoft Volume Shadow-copy Service (VSS) Writer to do the backup. At the time of backup, if the Exchange services are running, a request is made to the VSS, which notifies the Exchange services that a backup is about to take place. Once the backup has occurred, Exchange is notified that the backup has occurred successfully and Exchange deletes the Exchange logs. For Microsoft SQL Server to back up, the SQL Server VSS Writer service must be started before the backup set displays. It is suggested that you set the SQL Server VSS Writer service to automatically start when Windows starts. When the backup sets appear for Microsoft SQL Server, each database displays as a separate backup set. The SQL Server services and SQL Server VSS Writer then flush any transactions pending in memory to the store file to ensure that the backup includes the most recent changes available; after which, a snapshot of the files are backed up. After MozyPro has backed up the file, only the changed blocks of the file are transmitted. This happens at the block level, not the file level, so subsequent backups can take minutes instead of hours.
26
This style of Exchange and SQL Server backup results in a significantly reduced impact on the performance of the server as well as on the SQL/Exchange services. Because MozyPro avoids interfacing with the services directly, no downtime or slowdown of any kind is experienced. Important: If you are configuring MozyPro to back up a Microsoft Exchange Server residing on the same hardware as the domain controller, it is important to select the VSS Active Directory and Windows File Replication Service (SYSVOL) backup sets.
Figure 8: File System Tab 4. If MozyPro can backup drives other than the C: drive, you can select files from a separate named drive, such as a data partition, a second internal drive, or an external drive. This cannot be a USB or flash drive. Only a server license for MozyPro can back up a network drive. If you have a server license, you can right-click any item in the left pane and select Add network share to add files from your network shares for backup. 5. Select the folders you want to back up. When you select a folder, all its subfolders are selected as well. 6. Select or deselect individual files in the right pane that you want to include or exclude from the backup. 7. When you have finished changing settings, click OK. Your settings are saved and the Settings window closes.
27
Note: You do not need to be logged in to Windows to back up. However, your computer must be turned on, not in sleep or hibernation mode, and must be connected to the Internet. None of the steps above disengage the feature that automatically marks subsequently created files in selected folders. You can hover your mouse pointer over a folder to reveal a tooltip explaining how it is treated during a backup.
28
5. If the machine requires you to log in to use the share, enter the user name in the Username field. 6. In the Password field, enter the password that is required by the share. 7. Click OK. If the share has been configured correctly, the share point displays in the list in the left pane.
29
days ago. If you change a file once every seven days and you back up daily, the four most recent versions are available for restore. When you delete a file from your computer (or deselect it from backing up) and MozyPro subsequently backs up your computer, those files are marked for permanent deletion from the backup servers after 30 days. When a file is marked for deletion, it immediately no longer counts against your use of storage space. However, the most recent version of the file is kept for 30 days, after which the file is deleted permanently from the backup servers and is no longer retrievable. Aside from intentional deletion or de-selection, files are considered deleted if: A drive on your computer is malfunctioning, causing some or all files to appear to be missing and therefore deleted. You have 30 days before those files are permanently deleted from the data center. In that time you can resolve the issue with the drive, possibly by restoring your files to a replacement drive. Before files from an old computer are restored or moved to the new computer, MozyPro is installed on the new computer, replaces the old computer and completes the first backup. Replacing a computer associates your backed up files in the data center with the new computer. Any previously backed up files not present on the new computer are considered deleted. When you rename a file on your computer, MozyPro treats it as deleting a file (with the old name) and creating a new file with the same content (with the new name). If you need to restore a file after you renamed it, you can restore the most recent versions under the new name, or within 30 days you can restore any versions under the old name. When you move a file from one folder to another on your computer, MozyPro treats it the same as renaming a file.
Scheduling Backups
There are two scheduling methods you can use to customize when and how often MozyPro should back up your computer. Automatic: Backups occur when your computer is not in use. You can choose the parameters that MozyPro uses to determine when to start an automatic backup. See Setting Automatic Backups on page 31. Scheduled: Backups occur at the time you select. You can choose how often and when the backup occurs. See Setting Backup Schedule on page 32.
30
31
Note: These parameters are cumulative, meaning that all conditions must be met before a backup starts or resumes. 6. (Optional) Set the following options:
Attempt automatic backup even when a network connection is not detected Backups are attempted regardless of whether a network connection is detected. Use this if your network connection is unreliable. It is not selected by default.
Start automatic backups when the computer is running Backups will start even when your computer is running on battery power. on battery power It is not selected by default.
7. When you have finished changing settings, click OK. Your settings are saved and the Settings window closes. Note: You do not need to be logged in to Windows to back up. However, your computer must be turned on, not in sleep or hibernation mode, and must be connected to the Internet.

Adjusting Performance
Use the following options to adjust the performance of your backups. Setting Bandwidth Throttling To understand how bandwidth throttling works, imagine a set of two power lines running to and from your house, but instead of power, information such as word processing files or images is flowing through the lines. One line is only for uploading to the Internet (MozyPro backups, email, etc.), while the other is only for downloading from the internet (incoming email, photos, programs, etc.). Your Internet service provider supplies your information lines and determines the size of those lines. Only so much data can flow through them at a time. During some parts of the day (or always, depending on your service), you might need MozyPro to use less of your upload bandwidth so other higher priority services such as email can use it. This is called "throttling." You can customize the backup throttle so that you don't tie up your information lines when you need them the most. While throttling determines the amount of bandwidth you want to dedicate to MozyPro, Backup Speed determines how much of your computer's resources (CPU) is dedicated to the encryption and backup of your files. 1. Right-click the MozyPro icon in your system tray, then select Settings. 2. Click More Settings, then click Options. 3. Click the Performance tab, then select Enable Bandwidth Throttle. 4. Click and hold the slider to move it left or right. Slide the control to the left to decrease the bandwidth used or to the right to increase the bandwidth available for backups. 5. Decide whether you want MozyPro to always throttle or only during a specified period of the day, such as during office hours. If you select Throttle Between These Hours, specify the range. 6. Decide which days you want MozyPro to throttle, such as during the work-week. Select the specific days on which you want throttle MozyPro. 7. When you have finished changing settings, click OK. Your settings are saved and the Settings window closes. Note: You do not need to be logged in to Windows to back up. However, your computer must be turned on, not in sleep or hibernation mode, and must be connected to the Internet.
Setting Backup Speed Backup Speed determines how much of your computer's resources (CPU) are dedicated to encrypting and backing up your files. You can choose to have faster backups or better performance for your computer. To set backup speed: 1. Right-click the MozyPro icon 2. Choose one of these options: in your system tray, then select Settings.
To quickly set the backup speed, select Backup Speed, then click either Slow, Medium or Fast.
35
To have more options in setting the backup speed, go to the next step.
3. Click More Settings. The Settings window opens. 4. Click Options, then click the Performance tab. 5. Under Backup Speed, click and hold the slider, then drag it to the right for quicker backups or to the left for faster computer performance. 6. When you have finished changing settings, click OK. Your settings are saved and the Settings window closes. Note: You do not need to be logged in to Windows to back up. However, your computer must be turned on, not in sleep or hibernation mode, and must be connected to the Internet.

Overview of Proxy Server Settings A proxy server is a server that sits between a computer and the internet. The proxy server receives requests from a computer inside the network, performs the action requested, and then returns the results to the requesting computer. The following table provides a description of the proxy server settings available in MozyPro:
Setting Do not use a proxy to connect to servers Description Indicates that this client is not required to connect through a proxy server or that there is no proxy server on the network. This is the default selection. Allows you to define a specific proxy server that should be used. Enter the IP Address or the host name of the proxy server. This option will use the proxy server that has been configured for the machine based on the group policy settings for the user account. Allows Mozy to check for any proxy servers configured for the computer. Proxy configuration settings are checked in the following order: DNS or WINS pointer to a PAC script URLs pointing to a PAC script Check for a default proxy in the group policy If no proxy configuration is found, connect to the internet directly. Use automatic configuration script Allows you to define a URL that points to a PAC script which contains the configuration information for the proxy server you want to use. If you have a proxy server defined for Internet Explorer, this option allows you to import those settings automatically. If a username and password are required, these will need to be entered manually to complete the proxy setup.

Understanding the Status Window
The MozyPro Status window lets you see the status of the latest backup or restore, and start a backup manually. It also provides access to see what files are backed up, to restore files, to change your settings, and to get more space for your backups. MozyPro users must contact their local MozyPro administrator to request more storage space.
Figure 14: Status Window After a backup or a restore has been attempted, the Status window displays whether the backup or restore was successful, and when it was completed. If an error occurred during the backup or restore, the window displays an error code with a brief explanation for the error and a link for more information. An indication is made if any files are marked for permanent deletion from the data center after the 30-day retention period. This happens either when files are deleted from your computer or when files are deselected from backing up. Such files immediately stop counting against your use of storage space. This also alerts you when files you want to back up are not being backed up in situations like these: A drive on your computer is malfunctioning, causing some or all files to appear to be missing and therefore deleted. In the time before those files are permanently deleted from the data center, you can resolve the issue with the drive, possibly by restoring your files to a replacement drive. Files on your computer may have been unintentionally deleted or deselected from backing up. A drive on your computer is not connected while MozyPro is backing up, so its files are considered deleted. If you reconnect that drive during a subsequent backup within the retention period, all files marked for deletion from the data center are un-marked and reassociated with their counterparts on your hard drive. If you wait to reconnect that drive until after those files are deleted from the data center, you may need to re-select those files and back them up again from scratch. If you make a habit of reviewing the Status window when backups complete, you can notice if there is a problem with your computer and be able to take action.

Note: If you can still use your old computer, we don't recommend using Web access to get your files onto your new computer. Web access is designed to restore your backed up files, but it is not intended to be a file transfer utility. For more information, see If You Can Still Use Your Old Computer on page 59. With Emergency Restore, files are restored from all drives for the selected computer. Only the most recently backed up versions of files are restored. You can decide whether to restore files marked for deletion. You might want to restore deleted files if you have already installed MozyPro on a new computer and chosen to replace the old computer, and have completed the first backup on the new computer. This is because files no longer present for backup are considered deleted. For more information, see About Deleting, Moving, and Renaming Files on page 29. After you have restored all your files, you can install MozyPro on the new computer with the same user ID and password, choosing to replace your old computer. During the first backup, your files already in the data center are associated with the new computer. You will no longer be able to use MozyPro on your old computer. In Web access and in your account information, you won't see the name of the old computer, but you will see all your files listed under the new computer. If you find that you missed restoring any files, you have 30 days to restore them using either Web access or MozyPro. If You Can Still Use Your Old Computer You may certainly use Web access to migrate files if you wish; however, your experience will probably be better if you move your files yourself, directly between the two computers. This is because it is almost certainly faster than using Web access, and using Web access may not be easier than manually moving files if you are not technically proficient. Many of the necessary tasks in manually migrating files between computers are the same as using Web access to transfer files. Web access is not a file transfer utility intended to help you migrate to a new computer. You can find tools and information to help you do this on your computers and on the internet, or ask a friend who is computer proficient to help you. Many migration tools can help move settings to your new computer and any installed programs, transferring files that are not typically backed up by MozyPro.

What are backup sets? Backup sets let you easily select groups of files to back up according to criteria like file type and folder location. Each time you save a new file matching the criteria for a selected backup set, MozyPro automatically includes that file in future backups. This means you don't have to manually select new files to include them in backups. (In MozyPro for Mac, this is instead called Suggested Files and Folders.) For example, on a Windows computer, selecting the Word Processing Documents backup set automatically backs up all Microsoft Word, OpenOffice.org, WordPerfect, Adobe Acrobat, and text files on your computer under the My Documents and Desktop folders. All files saved to your computer in these folders with the same file extensions are automatically added to your backups. If you later restore or download any files you have backed up, you can choose to select them according to backup set, rather than searching for them or selecting them according to folder structure.

Question
Strategies Downloading your files is not practical due to factors such as difficulty and time, particularly if you have already installed MozyPro on the new computer, replacing an old computer.
How big are the files I need, both in quantity and total size?
If you plan to download your files, size does matter. If you don't have a fast, reliable internet connection, it may be difficult to download large sets of files. Consider creating several smaller sets of files instead of one very large set. To stay organized, you could select sets of files based on any criteria that work for you, such as: how urgently you need them. their relative importance to you. similar file types, perhaps according to backup set. their location in your folder structure. If choose Ship on Media, size is not a concern. Your files will arrive on DVD unless the total size of all the files you are restoring is over our size threshold. If that happens, your files will arrive on a hard drive instead.
Web access is not a file transfer utility intended to help you migrate to a new computer. If you can still use your old computer, you should move your files manually. For more information, see If You Can Still Use Your Old Computer on page 59. If you can no longer use your old computer, you should restore all your files to your new computer before you install MozyPro, replacing your old computer. This lets you take as much time as you need, avoiding the pressure of verifying all your files are restored within 30 days of installing MozyPro. Note: If the new and old computers have different platforms (Windows versus Mac), you cannot use the "replace computer" process while installing MozyPro. You can only add the new computer to your account. You may need to delete the old computer from your account first if MozyPro is installed on all the computers permitted by your account. For more information, see Managing Your Account on page 129.
Does the computer I am restoring to have the same platform or a different platform (Windows versus Mac)? Have I already installed MozyPro on my replacement computer?
While it is possible to download to a different platform, you must be prepared to cope with the technical challenges of doing so. Receiving files on media is better suited to moving files between platforms, particularly because there are time constraints associated with downloading. Therefore, we strongly recommend choosing Ship on Media in this situation. If you have already installed MozyPro on your replacement computer and chosen to replace your old computer, you have 30 days to restore your files. This is because MozyPro does not know why files you backed up are no longer present on the computer being backed up. All files that are not present to be backed up are marked for permanent deletion from the Mozy servers after 30 days. Therefore, you must immediately restore your files. For more information, see About Deleting, Moving, and Renaming Files on page 29. If you are concerned about running out of time while downloading all your files and verifying that you have everything you need, consider choosing Ship on Media instead.
When you restore using Web access, metadata is not preserved. If metadata is important, restore those files with MozyPro instead of with Web access.
Delivery Method Descriptions The specific delivery methods you can choose are:
74
Description Lets you install the Restore Manager to quickly stream large files or sets of files in one or multiple download sessions. If you lose your connection or turn off your computer, the Restore Manager will resume where it left off. The Restore Manager can put your files into a location you choose, or if this computer has the exact same operating system and folder structure (including user name), it can automatically put your files into their original location. If the files were backed up on a computer with a different folder structure or platform, you can still easily download them with the Restore Manager. However, after downloading, you will need to move the files into suitable locations. For more information, see What is a Platform or Operating System? on page 142 Keep in mind that if you are downloading very many files, or large files, it will take some time. This is normal. If your very first backup with MozyPro was large and took a long time, do not be surprised if downloading also takes a long time. If this is a concern there are some strategies you can use to have a better experience. For more information, see Understanding Delivery Methods on page 73.
An archive package compresses the files you selected into a single file, so that it downloads faster. This delivery method is not recommended if you are not technically proficient. When the archive package containing your set of files is ready, you will be notified that you can download it. If the archive package is small, this is quick. If the archive package is very large, it may take some time before you get your notification. Downloading a large archive package may also take some time. After you have downloaded the archive package, you will need to extract your files from it, then manually put all the files where you want them. If the total size of your selected files is more than 200 GB, you should instead choose Ship on Media, or consider creating a few smaller sets of files instead of a single large set. If the total size of your selected files is more than 200 GB, you should instead choose Ship on Media or Download using the Restore Manager, or consider creating a few smaller sets of files instead of a single large set. If you do choose Download Compressed Archives for a very large set of files, for example 1 TB, you may be notified that it is available in separate downloads, rather than a single very large download. This is done on your behalf, because your wait and download times are shorter for smaller downloads.
Ship on Media
Your set of files will be shipped to you on media that you pay for in addition to shipping and processing. This is recommended when you are restoring to a computer with a different platform. For more information, see What is a Platform or Operating System? on page 142 It is also the best choice when the set of files is large enough that downloading is not practical, for example more than 200 GB. Depending on the total size of all the files you selected, you may get a single DVD, a set of DVDs, or a hard drive.
Note: When you first installed MozyPro on your computer, if you chose to use your own encryption key, you must have that key to decrypt files you download or restore. For more information, see How do I decrypt my restore? on page 139

1. In the Restore Wizard, provide a unique name for the set of files selected, up to 64 characters, then click Next. A descriptive name for each set of files is helpful if you are restoring more than once, or for different devices, or with different files selected. 2. Choose one of these delivery methods for your set of files: Recommended: Download using the Restore Manager Download Compressed Archives Ship on Media
For more information, see Delivery Method Descriptions on page 74. 3. Click Next. 4. Choose one of these actions: If you chose Recommended: Download using the Restore Manager, see Getting Your Files on page 76. If you chose Download Compressed Archives, see Getting Your Files on page 76. If you chose Ship on Media, see Provide Shipping and Payment Information for a Media Restore on page 76.
Provide Shipping and Payment Information for a Media Restore Before you can provide shipping and payment information for a media restore, you must select files to restore and then choose the Ship on Media delivery method. For more information, see Choose Delivery Method on page 75. To provide shipping and payment information for a media restore: 1. On the Shipping & Payment window of the Restore Wizard, review the detailed information about how long it takes to prepare and send your restore, and the amount you will be charged. 2. Under Shipping Address, enter details for the address where you will receive the package, then click Next. 3. Under Credit Card Information, enter details about the card you want to pay with, including billing address information. 4. Click Payment and Refund Policy to review this information. 5. Select I agree with Payment and Refund Policy , then click Next. Your set of files is prepared and put onto DVDs or a hard drive, then shipped to you. When you get the package, you will need to extract your restored files and ensure they are put into the appropriate folders on your computer. For more information, see Understanding Media Restores on page 133. Note: You can see current status information about your request to ship on media any time. For more information, see Understanding Download History on page 61.
76
If you added files to a set and chose Download using the Restore Manager, see Download with the Restore Manager on page 77. If you added files to a set and chose Ship on Media, the package you receive contains information to help you restore your files. For more information, see Understanding Media Restores on page 133. Note: When you first installed MozyPro on your computer, if you chose to use your own encryption key, you must have that key to decrypt files you download or restore. For more information, see How do I decrypt my restore? on page 139
If prompted to do so, download and install the Restore Manager as you would any other program you download from the internet. The exact steps to do so depend on your operating system and the settings for the Web browser you use. 2. (Optional) If the Restore Manager is installed, choose one of these actions: If the Restore Wizard is still open, click Begin Download. On the Download History tab, find the set of files with the type of Direct Download, then click Waiting. For more information, see See Download History on page 61.
3. Open the downloaded .MZD file with the Restore Manager. The Restore Manager login window appears. 4. Enter your Email and Password, then click Next. 5. (Optional) If more than one set of files is pending download, select a set, then click Next. 6. Choose a destination for your files, then click Next.
77
If this computer has the exact same operating system and folder structure (including user name), choose this option to download the files into the exact same folder structure they were in when they were backed up. If the operating system or folder structure of this computer is different from the computer the files were backed up from, you should specify the destination. Ideally, this might be different drive on your computer or a new folder you create on your desktop. This is because the files are downloaded and saved into the complete folder structure from the original computer, starting with the original drive name. You will need to manually move files to suitable folders after they are downloaded. Therefore, the location you specify should be one you can easily find. For more information, see What is a Platform or Operating System? on page 142
Note: Be sure the destination has enough space to hold all the files you're downloading. 7. (Optional) Select Overwrite existing files when you've chosen to preserve the original location to keep the versions of files you download rather than any versions of those same files already on your computer. You would want to do this if you're restoring older, uninfected versions of files after removing a virus from your computer. 8. (Optional) If you chose a personal key when you first installed MozyPro, you are prompted to provide your personal key. Enter or import your personal key, then click Next. For more information, see Understanding MozyPro Encryption on page 16. 9. Confirm the details of your download, then click Finish. If you pause the download or lose your connection, Restore Manager picks up where it left off when you resume it. Your files are downloaded to the location you chose. Unless this computer has the exact same operating system and folder structure (including your user name) as the computer the files were originally backed up from, you will need to manually move the files to suitable locations. For more information, see What is a Platform or Operating System? on page 142 If you are downloading to a computer which does not have MozyPro installed, you can click Install Mozy Backup. During installation, you can choose whether to add this computer to your account or to replace a computer already on your account. If the platforms of the computers are different, you cannot use the Replace Computer process. You will have to delete the old computer from your account and add the new computer.

3. In the list of requests you've made, find an Archive Package typw with a status of Ready for Download, then click . The Restore Details window appears. 4. Under Downloads, click the link to download this package. If the request was large enough, there may be more than one download. 5. Save the compressed restore file to your Desktop. This file may resemble a folder. It contains all your restored files in a compressed (or zipped) fashion, to make the file as small as possible so you can download it faster. Note: If you find the file isn't being saved, or if your web browser simply tries to open the file instead of offering to save it, you may need to change your browser settings and try again. For help in doing this, consult your Web browser's help topics. Note: When you first installed MozyPro on your computer, if you chose to use your own encryption key, you must have that key to decrypt files you download or restore. For more information, see How do I decrypt my restore? on page 139 6. Extract your compressed files. If you need instructions, see the appropriate topic. Windows: Extract Downloaded Files If your Windows computer does not have the extraction program supplied by Microsoft, you can search for and obtain one on the Internet, such as 7-Zip. You can download the 7-Zip application at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/9.20/7z920.msi/download. To extract a set of files on a Windows computer: 1. Right-click the folder, and then click Extract All. 2. Choose one of these options: If you are using the same computer the files were backed up from, or one with the same operating system, you can restore all the files and folders into the original folder structure they were backed up in. Browse to the drive letter they were backed up from originally, most likely the C:\ drive. If you are using a different computer or one with a different operating system, you can restore all the files and folders into the original folder structure they were backed up in, and from there move them into their final locations. Browse to a drive letter to restore to, most likely the C:\ drive.
3. Click Extract. On the C:\ drive, all the files are restored into the original folder structure they were backed up from. This will take some time because the files are uncompressed as they are copied. In the process, any folders that did not exist are created. Note: If any file with the same name already exists in any folder, you must select whether you want to replace it. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can also select to copy the file and rename it, thereby by keeping the existing file and adding the renamed restored file to the same folder. Note: If you need move your files and you need more information, see What is a Platform or Operating System? on page 142
79
Mac: Extract Downloaded Files To extract a set of files you downloaded on a Mac: 1. Double-click the archive. 2. The Mac Archive Utility will extract the folder in the same location as the archive. In the extraction destination folder, a restore folder is created with the same name as the restore zip file. This restore folder contains all the folders and files you requested to be restored. Inside the folder, the complete folder structure for all the restored files is preserved. This helps you know where to move your restored folders and files to, so that they will be in the same location as they were when they were backed up. For example, if you back up folders and files in your Documents folder, the path for that folder structure might be something like: /Users/your user name/Documents. If you save your restore file in your downloads folder and extract at that location, the path to those restored folders and files becomes: /Users/your user name/Downloads/your restore file name /Users/your user name/Documents. 3. Look at the path for your restored folders and files to identify where you should move them to. 4. Select all the restored folders and files you need to move, then copy them. For example, using the restore path described in the previous example, in the restored folders, click the last Documents folder, then press Command+C. 5. Navigate to the folder that should contain the restored folders and files, then paste them. To continue the example, you would navigate to this folder: /Users/your user name/Documents. 6. Verify that the copied folders and files were pasted into the correct folder. 7. (Optional) If you don't want to keep the zip file and the set of folders and files you extracted from it (you copied them when you moved them, and they may take a lot of space on your computer), find them and delete them. How do I decrypt my restore? When you first installed MozyPro on your computer, you may have chosen to use your own personal encryption key. If so, you must have that key to decrypt files you download from Web access or receive on DVD or hard drive. If you cannot provide that key, neither you nor Mozy will be able to decrypt them. Your experience will be better if you start by putting all your restored files into a temporary folder, perhaps on your desktop. Then you can decrypt using your personal key, and in that process put your files into their final destination. If you are not sure whether you chose personal encryption, try to open a file that you just restored to your computer. Any text file (with the .txt extension) is probably a good choice for this test. If you cannot open the file and if you see any messaging about encoding or encryption, your files were encrypted with your personal key. Windows: Decrypt Restored Files Using Your Personal Key If you chose to use your own personal key when you first installed MozyPro, you must use the MozyPro software to provide your personal key and thereby decrypt files you are restoring from the web. You can decrypt files to a Windows computer or to a Mac, regardless of what computer they were originally backed up from. If you are restoring to a Mac, read this topic: Mac: Decrypt Files Using Your Own Personal Key on page 141. The decryption process is different on different platforms. If you are restoring from one platform to another, there are specific issues you should be aware of. For more information, see What is a Platform or Operating System? on page 142
80
If you chose to use your own personal key when you first installed MozyPro on your computer, you will need to download the Crypto Utility to provide your personal key and thereby decrypt the files you are restoring. To decrypt files you downloaded from Web access or received on DVD or hard drive: 1. Click the appropriate link to download the Crypto Utility. If you use MozyHome, click here: https://mozy.com/downloads/mozycryptoutil.exe If you use MozyPro, click here: https://mozy.com/downloads/mozyprocryptoutil.exe If you use MozyEnterprise, click here: https://mozy.com/downloads/mozyentcryptoutil.exe
2. Save the file to a location you will remember later (such as your Desktop). 3. Right-click on the Crypto Utility file, then click Run as administrator to run the program.

Restore options in MozyPro as originally installed on the computer or after using the "replace computer" process. downloading from Web access. ordering a media restore from Web access. If the new computer has an entirely different platform (Windows versus Mac), you cannot use the "replace computer" process, and you cannot restore using MozyPro installed on the new computer. You can restore only with Web access. The recommended restore method is to order a media restore. Restoring Between Computers with Identical Operating Systems If the operating systems on both computers are identical, for example both use Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7), restoring is straightforward because the default folder structure is identical (as long as your user name is also identical). Regardless of the restore method you use, you can choose to preserve the original file location when restoring. This means that files are restored into the exact same folder structure as they were in when they were backed up. You won't have to manually move any files. Restoring Between Different Versions of the Same Operating System If the operating system versions are different, for example Windows XP and Windows 7, you will need to move your restored files manually. This is because if you preserve the original location when restoring files, they are restored into the exact same folder structure they were in when they were backed up, but this exact folder structure does not apply to the new computer. Because the default folder structure on the new computer is different, you will have to manually move your restored files. Let's consider an example of restoring files backed up from a computer running MS Windows XP Professional to a computer running Windows 7 Enterprise. You are restoring files from your Documents backup set and your user name is the same on both computers. On the Windows XP computer, your folder structure may look like this: C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\My Documents. On the Windows 7 computer, your folder structure may look like this: C:\Users\your user name\My Documents. Let's say you restore files from the XP computer onto the Windows 7 computer, leaving them in their original folder structure. If you open your Documents folder on your new computer, you won't see your restored files. And programs installed on Windows 7 won't be able to see the restored files using their default behavior. To resolve this, manually move all files out of the folders under C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\My Documents into C:\Users\your user name\My Documents. Restoring Between Windows and Mac Computers If you're restoring between entirely different platforms, you must use Web access. We recommend requesting a media restore. For more information, see Choose Delivery Method on page 75 . While it is possible to download files to restore from Web access to a different platform, it is not recommended unless you have sufficient technical knowledge to understand and cope with the demands of doing so.
86
Once you receive the restore media, use the included instructions to get your files onto the new computer. On the new computer, this creates a new folder structure containing all your restore files, exactly as they were originally backed up. Because the default folder structure on the new platform is entirely different, you must manually move files from the new "original" folders into the appropriate folders on the new computer. Let's consider an example of restoring files from your Documents backup set to a computer with a different platform, and assume that your user name is the same on both computers. On a Mac, your default folder structure may look like this: Users/your user name/Documents. On a Windows computer, your default folder structure may look like this: C:\Users\your user name\My Documents. If document files backed up from a Windows computer are restored to a Mac, you would move the files from the newly-created My Documents folder into the existing Mac Documents folder. If you restore document files backed up from a Mac onto a Windows computer, you would move the files from the newly-created Documents folder into the existing Windows My Documents folder.
87
you should see many topics that can help you re-associate MS Outlook to your restored email. For example, if you use MS Outlook 2007, its help article titled Move an Outlook data file from one computer to another may be useful.

Mozy Stash
Mozy Stash lets you keep the files you work with most often synced across each of the computers you regularly use. You do not need to use MozyPro backup to be able to use Stash. Stash is currently available as a Beta feature of MozyHome, MozyPro, and MozyEnterprise. You can use Stash only if your administrator has enabled it for you. If you use MozyPro backup and you install Stash, the local Stash folder is automatically excluded from backing up. Stash creates a storage area online which you link to. That online Stash is the primary location for your synced files. Each linked computer has its own local Stash folder that automatically syncs with your Stash online. Any file activity in a local Stash folder automatically syncs to your Stash online. From there, it syncs with your local Stash folder on any linked computers. Your storage space for Stash is set by your MozyPro administrator, and you can install Stash and link to your account on as many computers as necessary. If you use Mozy mobile apps, you can sync files with your devices as well. With Stash you can: Automatically upload new and changed files to your online Stash. Automatically receive updates to files from your online Stash. Add files to or remove files from your Stash with Mozy mobile apps. Add files to or remove files from your Stash using any computer with Internet access. From any computer with Internet access, obtain files deleted from your Stash, or older versions of files. How might you use Stash? Imagine you are working on a presentation on your desktop computer. You save this presentation to your local Stash folder. Now you can: Download the presentation from your Stash online using a Web browser on your friend's computer. She helps you work on it, then you upload it to your Stash online. Take some photos to add to your presentation with your mobile device, then upload those photos to your Stash online using the Mozy mobile app. Open the presentation from the local Stash folder on your laptop and add photos to that presentation. Open the presentation from the local Stash folder on your iPad and show it to another friend. Recover the first version of the presentation using the Web browser on your desktop or laptop, putting it back into the local Stash folder, because all your friends agree that the first version was the best. Open the presentation from the local Stash folder on your laptop and show it to your family, your coworkers, or your classmates. You can use Stash on the following operating systems: Microsoft Windows XP SP3 or later, both 32-bit and 64-bit

Stash FAQ
Can I rename a file after syncing? Yes. Rename the file as you would any other file. The changed file name is synced online as usual, and then to the local Stash folder on any other linked computers and devices. Do I have to the backup software to use Stash? No, you do not have to install the backup software to use Stash. Stash is installed separately. Stash is meant to complement MozyPro backup. While both protect your files, Stash conveniently makes the files you use the most available to you anywhere. How do I get more storage space for Stash? You can request additional space from your MozyPro administrator. For more information, see Getting More Storage Space for Stash on page 96. Can my local Stash folder be on an external drive? Yes. The local Stash folder can be located on an external drive as long as the drive is accessible using a drive letter on the computer. If you want to use an external drive, there are several things you should consider. For more information, see Move the Stash Folder to a New Location on page 97. Can Stash use more than one folder? Not at this time. All of the content you want to sync must be located within the Stash folder on your computer; however, you can have as many folders as you want within the Stash folder, so you can organize your files as needed. Can multiple users on a shared computer have their own Stash? Yes. If you share a computer with other people who log into the computer with their own accounts, each person can have a separate Stash. For more information, see Multiple Stash Users on One Computer on page 92. How many computers can sync with my account? You can install Stash and link to your account on as many computers as necessary. There is no limit to the number of mobile devices that can access your Stash using the Mozy mobile apps. Is there a limit to the size of a file that can be synced? There is no limit to the size of files that can be synced to your Stash. Large files might take more time to sync to your Stash and then to the Stash folders on other linked computers. Note: If you use a Web browser to access your online Stash, files larger than 512 MB cannot be immediately downloaded. Instead, you should use the Restore Manager, but you can also choose to download a compressed archive. Can files be synced to another computer even if it is offline? Stash requires a connection to the Internet. If a linked computer or device is not connected to the Internet, it will not receive any updates from Stash until after it is reconnected to the Internet.
103
Can I use Stash with mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets? Yes. If you install the Mozy mobile app for iOS or Android, you can access your online Stash from an iPhone, an iPad, or an Android phone or tablet. On iOS devices, you can choose photos and videos to upload to your Stash. On Android devices, you can upload photos and videos from your mobile device automatically as soon as you take them. For more information, see: Mozy Mobile App Overview on page 117 for iOS Mozy Mobile App Overview on page 107 for Android How does Stash update my files? When you edit or change a file in your local Stash folder, Stash automatically syncs with your online Stash, and then with your Stash folders on your other computers. Stash automatically syncs any time you add, change or delete files. Why is there a file with a similar name as my original file in the same folder? If the same file is open on two different computers at the same time and changes are made on both computers, you might create a conflict. Stash has two different copies of the same file that contain different content and does not know how to merge the content together. To prevent any possible loss of data, Stash creates a new file with the original filename and the computer name and date appended to it. You should open the original file and the one created by Stash and manually merge the contents together. What if my files are not syncing? In rare situations, the set of files in your online Stash might not match the set of files in the Stash folder on your computer, even after waiting a sufficient amount of time for the files to sync. In these situations, you can force Stash to compare all of the contents in both locations and make them match. Force Stash to Sync All Files on page 104.

If you see a prompt asking you to choose whether to run restore.bat, click Run restore.bat, then go Step 5. If a window appears showing the contents of the DVD, go to Step 4. If you see no prompt at all, go to the next step.
3. Select one of the following options: In Windows 2000, XP or 2003, click Start > My Computer, then double-click the DVD drive. In Windows Vista or 7, click the Windows Pearl/Start > Computer, then double-click the DVD drive.
A window appears, showing the contents of the DVD. 4. Find and double-click restore.bat. 5. In the Enter password field, enter the password you received in an email, then click OK. A 7-Zip window appears which shows the contents of the DVD. 6. Click Extract. 7. In the Copy to field, browse to the drive letter you are restoring to, then click OK. This is the C drive unless you are restoring files you backed up from a drive with a different letter assigned. The folders and files on the DVD are copied to the C drive. This will take some time because the files are uncompressed as they are copied. Note: If any file with the same name already exists in any folder, you will need to select whether you want to replace it. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can also select to copy the file and rename it, thereby by keeping the existing file and adding the renamed restored file to the same folder. 8. Close the 7-Zip window, then eject the DVD. 9. (Optional) If you have more than one restore volume DVD, repeat this process for each of them. If you chose to use personal key encryption when you installed the backup software, you must decrypt your files before you can use them. For more information, see How do I decrypt my restore? on page 139
have your personal key available if you chose to encrypt your backups with a personal key when you installed MozyPro. For more information, see How do I decrypt my restore? on page 139 To restore a file spanned across multiple DVDs: 1. Create a folder on your computer into which you will copy the contents of all the DVDs. The folder should be easy to get to, such as a folder named Restore on your desktop. 2. Insert the first restore DVD into the drive. This is the DVD with a label like this, Restore: Vol X of N. 3. Select one of the following options: If a window appears showing the contents of the DVD, go to Step 5. If a window appears instructing you to copy all partial archives into one directory, press any key, then go to the next step. If you see a prompt for choosing whether to run restore.bat or to open a folder to view files, choose to view the files in a folder, then go to Step 5. If you see no prompt at all, go to the next step.
4. Select one of the following options: In Windows 2000, XP or 2003, click Start > My Computer, then right-click the DVD drive, and then click Open. In Windows Vista or 7, click the Windows Pearl/Start > Computer, then right-click the DVD drive, and then click Open.
A window appears showing the contents of the DVD. 5. Select all the files on the DVD and copy them into the folder you created in Step 1 above, then eject the DVD. To continue the example, you would copy all the files on the DVD and paste them into the Restore folder you created on your desktop. 6. Insert the first supplement DVD for this spanned file. This is the DVD with a label like this, Supplement Disk 1 to Vol. X, where X is the same number as was on the label for the restore DVD in Step 1 above. 7. Repeat steps 3 through 5 above for this DVD, copying all files into the same folder. Do this for each supplement DVD that belongs to the restore volume DVD described in Step 2 above. This will take some time. To continue the example, you would copy all the files on each supplement DVD and paste them into the same Restore folder you created on your desktop. 8. When the contents of the restore DVD and all its supplement DVDs are copied into the same folder, look in that folder and find and double-click on restore.bat. To continue the example, you would look in the Restore folder on your desktop and double-click restore.bat. 9. In the Enter password field, enter the password you received in an email, then click OK. A 7-Zip window appears showing an item that represents the single, spanned file. 10. Click Extract, then click OK. The file is uncompressed, reconstructed and copied to the folder you are currently in, which should be the folder you created in Step 1 above. This will take some time.

If you don't want this restored file to exist on this computer in its current location, you can move it elsewhere, such as to the folder it was originally backed up from. For more information, see Moving a File to Its Final Location on page 137. If you are restoring to a different platform (Windows versus Mac), see Restoring to a Different Platform or Operating System on page 142. If you chose to use personal key encryption when you installed MozyPro, you must decrypt your files before you can use them. For more information, see How do I decrypt my restore? on page 139 Moving a File to Its Final Location Read this topic if you have finished extracting the contents of a spanned set of DVDs into a single very large, restored file. You can now move this file to its final location. When you look into the folder you restored the very large file into, you will see that it is inside the same folder structure as it was on your computer when you backed it up. If you are using a different computer or even a different operating system (Mac versus Windows), you can refer to this structure to move the file into its original location, or into some other appropriate folder. For more information, see Restoring to a Different Platform or Operating System on page 142. Some programs cannot use their data files unless you put them into a specific folder, or unless you point the application to the folder where that data file resides. For more information, see Where do I put my restored files for common applications? on page 144. To move the file to its original location: 1. Open the folder containing the entire folder structure housing the restored file. To continue the example from Restoring a Spanned File from Multiple DVDs to a Windows Computer on page 135 , you would look in the Restore folder on your desktop. 2. Open the folder named with the drive letter, most likely C. 3. Right-click the top-most folder, then click Copy. 4. On your computer, browse to the appropriate drive, then click Paste. This is most likely the C drive. The file is copied to the C drive inside the entire folder structure in which it was originally backed up. If a file with that name is already present in that location, you can choose whether to replace it in that location with the version you have copied. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can also choose to rename the file you are copying, thereby having both versions in that location on your computer. After you are sure you have moved the file into its final location, you can delete the folder you created at the beginning of this process. To finish the example, this would be the Restore folder you created on your desktop, and all its contents.

is larger than 250 GB, there will be more than one TrueCrypt volume on the hard drive, each inside a separate folder.
3. In the list of files and folders on the hard drive, double-click the installer for TrueCrypt, named something like TrueCrypt Setup 7.0a.exe, and install TrueCrypt. 4. In the list of files and folders on the hard drive, find and double-click a restore volume, named data.tc. The TrueCrypt window appears. 5. From the list of drive letters, choose one to assign to this restore volume, then click Mount. 6. In the Password field, enter the password you received in an email, then click OK. The full path of the restore volume appears next to the drive letter you chose in step 5. 7. To access the contents of the restore volume, double-click the drive in the list. A Windows Explorer window appears, showing the contents of the restore volume within the folder structure they were in when they were backed up, including the drive letter. 8. Choose one of these options: Restore all files from this restore volume to this computer in exactly the same folder structure they were in when they were backed up. For example, copy the contents of the C folder in the restore volume to the C drive on your computer. If this computer has a different operating system from the computer which they were backed up from, you may need to move the files to their final destination. For more information, see Restoring to a Different Platform or Operating System on page 142 Choose specific files and folders to restore. To do this, hold down the Ctrl key while you click the files the files, then copy and paste them into their destination on your computer. If you use personal encryption, copy the files to a temporary location such as a folder on your desktop. From that temporary location, use your personal key to decrypt the files into their final destination on your computer. For more information, see How do I decrypt my restore? on page 139
138
If any file with the same name is already present in a destination folder, you choose whether to replace it with the version you have copied. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can also choose to rename the file you are copying, thereby having both versions in that location on your computer.

Restoring Between Computers with Identical Operating Systems If the operating systems on both computers are identical, for example both use Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7), restoring is straightforward because the default folder structure is identical (as long as your user name is also identical). Regardless of the restore method you use, you can choose to preserve the original file location when restoring. This means that files are restored into the exact same folder structure as they were in when they were backed up. You won't have to manually move any files. Restoring Between Different Versions of the Same Operating System If the operating system versions are different, for example Windows XP and Windows 7, you will need to move your restored files manually. This is because if you preserve the original location when restoring files, they are restored into the exact same folder structure they were in when they were backed up, but this exact folder structure does not apply to the new computer. Because the default folder structure on the new computer is different, you will have to manually move your restored files. Let's consider an example of restoring files backed up from a computer running MS Windows XP Professional to a computer running Windows 7 Enterprise. You are restoring files from your Documents backup set and your user name is the same on both computers. On the Windows XP computer, your folder structure may look like this: C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\My Documents. On the Windows 7 computer, your folder structure may look like this: C:\Users\your user name\My Documents. Let's say you restore files from the XP computer onto the Windows 7 computer, leaving them in their original folder structure. If you open your Documents folder on your new computer, you won't see your restored files. And programs installed on Windows 7 won't be able to see the restored files using their default behavior. To resolve this, manually move all files out of the folders under C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\My Documents into C:\Users\your user name\My Documents. Restoring Between Windows and Mac Computers If you're restoring between entirely different platforms, you must use Web access. We recommend requesting a media restore. For more information, see Choose Delivery Method on page 75 . While it is possible to download files to restore from Web access to a different platform, it is not recommended unless you have sufficient technical knowledge to understand and cope with the demands of doing so. Once you receive the restore media, use the included instructions to get your files onto the new computer. On the new computer, this creates a new folder structure containing all your restore files, exactly as they were originally backed up. Because the default folder structure on the new platform is entirely different, you must manually move files from the new "original" folders into the appropriate folders on the new computer. Let's consider an example of restoring files from your Documents backup set to a computer with a different platform, and assume that your user name is the same on both computers. On a Mac, your default folder structure may look like this: Users/your user name/Documents.
143
On a Windows computer, your default folder structure may look like this: C:\Users\your user name\My Documents. If document files backed up from a Windows computer are restored to a Mac, you would move the files from the newly-created My Documents folder into the existing Mac Documents folder. If you restore document files backed up from a Mac onto a Windows computer, you would move the files from the newly-created Documents folder into the existing Windows My Documents folder.

Uninstalling MozyPro
If you intend to reinstall MozyPro later, you should save your settings file, which contains your backup sets and other settings for MozyPro. If all your files are present on the computer when you reinstall and if you have saved your settings file, all or some of your files may not need to be re-uploaded again, but may instead be re-associated to the files backed up on the Mozy servers. While this process takes time, it is faster than a full backup. To uninstall MozyPro: 1. Click Start > All Programs > MozyPro > Uninstall MozyPro. 2. Click Yes to confirm uninstalling MozyPro. 3. When prompted to restart, click Yes. Uninstalling MozyPro does not remove your files from the Mozy servers. If you replace your machine, you can associate your backed up files to the same computer or to a different computer, restore your files if necessary, and resume backing up. For more information, see Replacing a Computer on page 127. Uninstalling does not cancel your account. MozyPro customers must contact MozyPro Sales to cancel an account.

Frequently Asked Questions
This section provides answers to these frequently asked questions:
Topics:
Duration of Backups and Downloads Why does the first backup take so long? Can I Test My Bandwidth? How does MozyPro Determine What Files to Back Up? If Settings Are Greyed Out How do I get more storage space? How do I get my MozyPro license key? How do I cancel my MozyPro account? Who do I contact with a billing question?
147
For all of these reasons, it is not possible for MozyPro to provide a specific estimate for how long your backups or downloads will take. During installation, Mozy tests your bandwidth to ensure your Internet connection is fast enough for you to use MozyPro. You may want to get a rough estimate of your transfer rate before you begin your initial backup by using a bandwidth meter such as Speakeasy or Speedtest. You can search online for other testing tools or use tools made available by your Internet service provider. After your initial backup, subsequent backups are relatively quick. Chances are that you won't even notice them. This is possible because Mozy performs what are called differential backups, which means that it only backs up the portions of your files that have changed since the last time they were backed up along with any new files selected for backup. This saves lots of time, bandwidth and storage space. If you have many files, restoring or downloading them may take a very long time for all the same reasons. Many Internet service providers restrict the speed of uploads while permitting much faster downloads. Therefore, some customers may find that while an initial very large backup takes a long time, restoring or downloading that same amount of files may be somewhat faster. MozyPro should automatically resume interrupted backups and downloads. Progress reported beginning with 0% pertains only to the session currently underway. Therefore, it may seem as though the process is starting over from the beginning when it is actually resuming from where it left off.
Upload Speed
While today's Internet connections are much faster, more applications such as email are also using your Internet connection. Since many of these tasks need access to the Internet, MozyPro gives these programs priority, using the left over bandwidth to send your data to the backup servers. This lets you continue working on your computer doing other tasks such as email or surfing the Web. Since the amount of bandwidth available to MozyPro is limited, the first backup takes longer because there is so much data to send to the servers. All backup services like MozyPro have similar issues.
148
Speakeasy Speedtest Compare the results of your speed test to the Internet service you purchased. You can try to increase your bandwidth by setting up bandwidth throttling or closing applications that are accessing the Internet. If you repeat the test, you will probably get a different reading because the amount of congestion on the Internet is always changing and applications on your computer that are accessing the Internet are also changing. However, your numbers should not change by more than 50%.

4. On a Windows computer, make sure that your backups are not suspended. Note: Backups cannot be suspended on a Mac computer. a) Right-click the MozyPro icon in the system tray, then click Settings > More Settings. b) If the Suspend menu entry is selected, click it to clear the selection. 5. Verify that your MozyPro back up speed is set high enough to allow MozyPro to back up. On a Windows computer, right-click the MozyPro icon in the system tray, then click Settings > More Settings, then click Options, and then click Performance. If Enable Bandwidth Throttle is selected, be sure the slider is not moved all the way to the left. If you change any settings, click OK. On a Mac computer, click the MozyPro icon in the menu bar, then click Open MozyPro Preferences, and then click Options. If Limit backup speed is selected, be sure the slider is not moved all the way to the left.
6. Temporarily disable your firewall and anti-virus programs. Consult the help topics provided by your firewall and anti-virus programs to see how to do this. If a backup succeeds after doing so, change your firewall and anti-virus settings so they don't block MozyPro. Help topics provided by your firewall and anti-virus programs should describe how to add exceptions and change other settings as necessary. On a Windows computer specifically, grant access or trusted status for all listed programs associated with MozyPro, such as MozyProbackup.exe, MozyProconfig.exe, MozyProstat.exe, or the entire C:\Program Files\MozyPro folder if possible. 7. Look in the History for error messages. MozyPro may be reporting issues with attempts to back up. On a Windows computer, right-click the MozyPro icon in the system tray, then click Settings > More Settings, then click History. On a Mac computer, click the MozyPro icon in the menu bar, then click Open MozyPro Preferences. Click the Summary tab, then click History.
If you see an error message, search for the exact text of the error code in the Mozy Support Portal, which provides topics to help resolve such errors. For more information, see Get Assistance for MozyPro on page 152. If these suggestions do not resolve the issue, you may seek assistance. The assistance options available to you depend on the kind of account you have. For more information, see Get Assistance for MozyPro on page 152.

Stash is Available in Additional Languages You can now use Stash in multiple languages. Stash displays in the language your operating system is set to use. Stash is now available in these languages: Dutch English (UK) French (France) German Italian Japanese Portuguese (Brazil) Spanish (Spain) (Windows) Command Line Switches for Setting Up the Proxy Server Used by Stash Windows administrators can now use command line switches to set up the proxy server used by Stash. Issues Fixed Resolved a crash that occurs when pausing during a sync. Resolved an issue that caused slow start up time. (Windows) Resolved an issue that caused the status icons to appear incorrect when the file was downloading. (Windows) Resolved an issue that caused the system tray to not respond to right-clicks. (Windows) Resolved an issue that caused the status icon overlays to slow down browsing of the Stash folder. (Windows) Resolved an issue during Stash installation which sometimes caused Windows Explorer to fail to restart. You must restart your computer for this resolution to take effect. (Mac) Resolved an issue on OS X which resulted in an additional shortcut in the Finder Favorites rather than an update to the existing one when Stash was reinstalled or when the Stash folder was moved. (Mac) Resolved an issue preventing uploads from resuming when the WiFi connection was interrupted. Known Issues No new known issues were identified in this version.
158
Changed How the Low Storage Space Threshold is Determined Users are alerted that they are running low on storage space if they are using more than ninety percent of their total space and drop below 500 MB of available space. Previously, the threshold was just a percentage of the total space, which either caused customers with large amounts of space to be alerted too soon or customers with small amounts of space to be alerted too late. Discontinued Support for Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) is no longer supported. Stash now supports Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and later. Added Stash Right-click Menu Option on Mac OS X A right-click menu item has been added for Stash on Mac OS X systems. In Finder if you right-click on a file or folder outside of your Stash folder and select Stash, a window opens with an option to move the file or folder to your Stash folder. If you right-click a file or folder within your Stash folder and select Stash, a window opens with details on when the file or folder was last synchronized and the status. Added a 64-bit Version of Stash for Windows The Stash installer now includes a 64-bit version of Stash along with the 32-bit verison. The installer will automatically install the correct version based on your operating system. If you are on a 64-bit system and previously installed the 32-bit version of Stash, which was the only one available, you must uninstall the 32-bit version and then run the installer to install the 64-bit version. Added Status Indicator Overlays to Stash File and Folder Icons on Windows If you are on Windows, the regular Windows Explorer file and folder icons in your local Stash folder are overlaid with icons that indicate the synchronization status. These icons indicate whether a file or folder is synchronized, not synchronized, or omitted from synchronization. This feature is disabled by default. To enable this feature, right-click the Stash icon in the system tray (bottom right portion of desktop) and select Preferences. Click Settings and then select the Show sync status badges on files and folders check box. Added Additional Notification Support Stash supports Notification Center on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). Notification Center is now the default notification tool for Stash, if available, and does not require any user configuration. Growl is still supported for those that want to continue to use it or their systems do not support Notification Center. Notifications are now also displayed to the user regardless of whether Notification Center or Growl are available. However, if you want to keep a history of these notifications, Notification Center or Growl is needed. Issues Fixed Stash incorrectly displays failed upload messages. Stash upload process conflicts with files that are in use by other applications. Stash crashes on Windows XP computers when attempting to sync a file to the local Stash folder. Pausing Stash clears the Recent Activity and console history entries. On Windows computers, the log file created by the Collect Log Files feature is too large for sending to Support. Initial synchronization fails with large amounts of data or certain files with rare names. Problems occur when syncing a file that has been modified a large number of times. Stash fails to retry syncing a file that is in use and changed by another application.
159
Known Issues On some computers, the Stash icon stops responding to the mouse or displays an incorrect tooltip. Conflicts can occur with the Stash status icon overlays when other products also use overlays. In some situations, the Stash overlays prevent other overlays from being displayed or vice versa. On some Windows computers, especially those running Windows XP, the status icon overlays can slow down browsing of the Stash folder. The workaround is to turn off Stash status badges by right-clicking the Stash icon and selecting Preferences > Settings.

You can now delete a file from its details screen or when previewing it. On screens that list files in Mozy, you can "pull down to refresh" your files list. Android Only Two tabs have been added: My Mozy and All Files. You can delete files from your SD card. Mozy offers to update your SD card files if the version in Mozy has been updated. You can see notifications about the progress of your uploads in your device's notifications window. When all uploads are complete, Mozy will notify you how many files you uploaded and the total size of the uploads. Issues This section describes issues fixed in this version of the Mozy mobile app. If any new issues are identified in this version, warnings, prevention, work-arounds, or fixes are also identified. Fixed Issues (iOS) Resolved an issue with uploads not resuming when the Mozy mobile app was running in the background. (Android) Resolved an issue with uploads not resuming after the device lost connectivity. (Android) Resolved an issue with duplicate uploads. Known Issues (Android) Scrolling through images in the gallery view causes users to return to the beginning of the list. Scrolling more slowly will avoid this problem.
Known Issues To order a Media restore using MS Internet Explorer version 8, you must accept the payment and refund policy by clicking exactly on the words "I agree with the" to the right of the checkbox. You cannot select the checkbox itself. You could also update to a newer version of Internet Explorer or use a different web browser. When using Download Now in Web access with MS Internet Explorer to get a single file with a name containing non-ASCII characters, those original characters may not correctly display in the filename. To avoid this, either use Download Now to get more than one file at a time, or request an Archive Package to download instead. When an upload to Stash from Web access is already in progress, the Adobe Flash upload plugin interferes with the ability to immediately add more files to Stash. If this is an issue for you, disable the Flash plugin for your Web browser. On the Stash tab, the option to delete a folder does not actually result in deletion. It is not possible at this time to delete a folder from within Stash in Web access. When in gallery view, use the checkbox to select and deselect items. While clicking anywhere else in the selection area for an item selects the item, it also deselects all previously-selected items.
Version 2.0
This topic provides release notes for this version of Restore Manager. Release notes identify new and changed features as well as any issues. Restore Manager is used to stream backed up files to your computer when downloading from Web access. New or Changed Features This section describes features which are new or changed in this release. For Windows computers, the Restore Manager is now installed on the computer and automatically runs for subsequent downloads. For Windows computers, right-clicking on a file listed in the Details pane in Restore Manager provides an option to Show file in Explorer, and Windows Explorer opens at the location where the file resides. On the Progress dialog box, it is now easier to start, cancel, pause, and resume downloads. It is also easier to remove completed downloads from the list. On the Progress dialog box, the Show Details button makes it easier to see information about what is currently being restored and what has been restored previously. The option to preserve the original location is automatically disabled when the backed up and new computers have different operating systems. When the option to restore to an original location is selected, and that location is a network drive which is not connected, prompts appear to connect that missing drive to receive the files being downloaded. (Pro or Enterprise) Single-sign is now supported when you are logged in to Web access and the Restore Manager is started. It is no longer necessary to provide login credentials again.

Issues This topic describes issues fixed in this version of Restore Manager. If any new issues are identified in this version, warnings, prevention, work-arounds, or fixes are also identified. Fixed Issues Not applicable Known Issues Restore Manager can severely slow down or stop completely when attempting to download more than 200,000 files. For sets of files at least this large, create smaller groups of files to download separately. Or, you may instead prefer to request a media restore. Windows only: If you close the Restore Manager while a download is in progress, then change your password, and then incorrectly type your new password when attempting to resume downloading with Restore Manager, subsequent correct attempts to provide your new password fail. To resolve this, close the Restore Manager and try again, being sure to correctly type the new password. When downloading files backed up from a Mac to a Windows computer, the download fails if the Restore Manager erroneously attempts to download to the original location. If the network connection is lost after you've logged in to the Restore Manager but before the download is selected or begins, the Restore Manager may stop working. If this happens, close the Restore Manager, ensure you have a working network connection, then from the Windows Start > Programs list, restart the Restore Manager and try again. When Restore Manager downloads files to the primary drive where it is running (most likely the C drive) and the drive is full, the message which appears advising that the drive is full cannot show the drive name. When a download is underway and the Restore Manager is partly obscured by another window, the only way to bring it forward is to click on the frame, menu bar or title bar of the Restore Manager. Mac only: Details for files which are downloading or have completed downloading may not appear in Restore Manager, particularly on OS X Leopard (10.5). Sometimes this is addressed if the download is paused or resumed, completed, or if there is an error. It is possible for RAM to be used excessively when Restore Manager retries downloading files. This is more likely to occur when very large sets of files are requested, and can eventually cause the computer to run slower or stop entirely. To prevent this, create smaller groups of files to download separately. Or, you may instead prefer to request a media restore. If this does occur, close the Restore Manager, restart the computer, and resume downloading with Restore Manager. If the destination for the downloaded files is unexpectedly missing, (such as a folder which is moved, renamed or deleted, or a removable drive which is unexpectedly ejected), the Restore Manager creates a folder in /Volumes and continues downloading. This means that the downloaded files won't all be in the same, intended destination.
Version 1.3
This topic provides release notes for this version of Restore Manager. Release notes identify new and changed features, as well as any issues. Restore Manager is used to stream backed up files to your computer when restoring from the Web.
163
New or Changed Features This section describes features which are new or changed in this release. Restore Manager now uses up to three simultaneous connections to the data centers. This ensures that when delays occur during transfer over any connection, transfer may continue with other connections, preventing the entire restore process from stalling. Appropriate messages now appear when attempting to restore files to a drive which is not connected. Appropriate messages are now provided to assist in ensuring the restore destination has sufficient space. Restore Manager can now restore files encrypted with a shared secret encryption key (sometimes referred to as corporate or c-key). This is an encryption key retrieved from a specific URL. This type of encryption is used only by customers in large-scale managed enterprise deployments of MozyPro. Issues This topic describes issues fixed in this version of Restore Manager. If any new issues are identified in this version, warnings, prevention, work-arounds, or fixes are also identified. Fixed Issues Windows only: Ensured that the name for the drive is now provided in the prompt to connect a drive when restoring files to the original, external drive. Resolved issue causing a restore to be shown as complete with errors, when actually no files are restored if an incorrect personal encryption key is provided. Ensured that the Restore Manager retry window for files which were not restored shows all files as also listed in the log file. Mac only: Resolved an issue causing the byte count to be incorrect for restores resumed after pausing. Known Issues No new known issues were identified in this version.
Version 2.18

164
Improved External Drive File Retention and Management Files backed up from an external drive now remain in the data center until that drive is deselected from backing up, regardless of whether that external drive is connected during backups. Formerly, files backed up from external drives were marked for deletion from the data center when a backup occurred while the external drive was not connected. To prevent those files from being deleted, an external drive had to be connected at least once every 30 days. It is still important to connect external drives as often as possible for backups. This ensures the most current versions of your files are backed up. External drive management has been improved. You can now change the drive letter of a backed up drive without needing to reselect the files you want backed up. If you have an external drive that you previously backed up and no longer want to back up, you can deselect the drive in the File System tab without needing to connect the drive to your computer. Backed up files will be deleted from the data center after 30 days. If a previously backed up external drive and a currently connected external drive have the same drive letter, and you want to stop backing up the previous drive and start backing up the current drive, you can deselect the previous drive and select the current drive in the File System tab. Retention of Permissions and Attributes for Files in Local Backup When backing up files to or restoring files from an NTFS formatted drive, MozyPro now retains the permissions settings and other attributes for those files. Also, to save space, MozyPro compresses all files you back up to a local drive and all files in your version history. Version History for Local Backups When new versions of files are backed up with Mozy 2xProtect, older versions of those files are now retained in a separate version history folder on the drive you selected for local backup. Files you either delete from your computer or deselect from backing up are also retained in that same version history folder. You can use Windows Explorer to retrieve files from the Mozy 2xProtect version history folder on your local backup drive. The History tab on the Settings window has been updated to show files that are moved into the version history folder. Command line switches have been added to let you enable and disable Mozy 2xProtect, and also to let Mozy 2xProtect connect to network shares. Only server licenses for MozyPro or MozyEnterprise can use Mozy 2xProtect with network shares. Issues Fixed Fixed an issue with improperly set permissions stopping local backups from occurring. Fixed some issues causing local backup to falsely report a successful backup when it actually encountered errors. Fixed an issue causing the MozyPro backup progress percentage to display numbers greater than 100% when running two back-to-back backups of different files. Fixed a crash that occurred under specific, rare circumstances for MozyPro or MozyEnterprise users where initial setup after auto-activation is partially completed. Removed some unnecessary notifications about backups not occurring. The URL for updating credit card information for MozyHome accounts now links to the correct page. The throttling rate calculation shown in the backup software for MozyPro or MozyEnterprise users now matches the same calculation reported in the Admin Console. Fixed some causes of Windows Explorer crashing. Fixed an issue causing changes to the custom logging settings to not be saved.
165
MozyPro log files for sending to Support can now be created with the user access control feature enabled on a computer. Fixed an issue that caused a crash and an incorrect error message about expired credentials if an incorrect password is supplied when changing program settings. Known Issues There are no new known issues as of this release.
Version 2.16
This topic provides release notes for this version of MozyPro for Windows. Release notes identify new and changed features, as well as any issues. New and Changed Features The following are the new or changed features for this release: Added Support for Alternate Account Activation and Authentication Using Methods in Addition to VMware Horizon Support was added for alternate account activation and authentication methods in addition to VMware Horizon for MozyEnterprise users in the United States. This feature allows enterprise administrators to integrate the activation and authentication of MozyEnterprise with their existing Microsoft Active Directory based infrastructure. If your organization has chosen to use one of these methods, users will either do nothing because activation is done automatically, or each user will enter a special activation subdomain name to activate an account. For information about implementing alternate account activation and authentication methods, see the MozyEnterprise Administrator Guide. Issues Fixed While files are being backed up, the selected items in the View backed-up files dialog do not stay selected. "User Not Found" error for some users Known Issues There are no known issues in this release.
Version 2.14
These are the release notes for this version of MozyPro for Windows. Release notes identify new and changed features, issues resolved, and known issues. Version 2.14.2 New and Changed Features The following are the new or changed features for this release: The MozyPro Backup Software Is Microsoft Windows 8 Certified The MozyPro backup software is now Microsoft Windows 8 certified. This certification required changing the software to limit the number of automated restart attempts of the MozyPro service to two times per day.
166
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Files included in Installation The MozyPro setup program now installs the version of the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable files needed by the backup software. Installing these files avoids issues with the backup software using outdated versions of the redistributable files that might already be on a computer. Issues Fixed There are no issues fixed in this release. Known Issues There are no known issues in this release. Version 2.14.0 New and Changed Features The following are the new or changed features for this release: Improved Representation of Backup Space Used It's now easier to see how much of your space in the data center is used. The "Quota bar" at the bottom of the Backup Sets tab and the File System tab on the Settings window has been improved to show more detail more clearly. To open the Settings window, right-click the MozyPro icon in the system tray, then click Settings. Status Window Can Appear after Every Completed Backup You can choose to see the Status window after every completed backup regardless of whether it succeeded. Seeing the Status window after every attempt means it is easier to detect problems backing up. Formerly, the Status window could appear only after successful backups. To see the Status window after every completed backup, right-click the MozyPro icon in the system tray, then click Settings > More Settings . On the Settings window, click Options, click Advanced, then select Show status when a backup completes. Number of Files Backed Up Can Appear on Status Window If the option to see additional progress information about backups is enabled for the Status window, the number of files now appears in addition to the percent complete. This is useful to customers who have a very large number of files to back up. To enable additional progress information to appear on the Status window, right-click the MozyPro icon in the system tray, then click Settings > Enable Advanced View. Issues Fixed Resolved some issues with third-party software and OpenSSL. Resolved a cause of occasional excessive CPU consumption and crashes when shell.dll runs for extended periods without the service running. Resolved some issues with backup sets, including how exclude rules and blank rules are handled. Resolved an issue causing display of time set for bandwidth throttling to appear incorrectly under some conditions, although throttling is in effect as intended. Resolved an issue with a database file which could cause the Settings window to close unexpectedly. Resolved an issue which as of version 2.12 occasionally prevented the Quota bar from showing on the File System tab of the Settings window. Resolved an issue occasionally causing folders on the File System tab of the Settings window to incorrectly show as having no content selected when only some subordinate folders or files were selected.
167
Resolved an issue preventing Firefox bookmarks from being backed up although the correct backup sets were selected. Resolved issues as of version 2.12 with VSS, network shares and Mozy 2xProtect which sometimes caused Mozy 2xProtect to incorrectly report success when some files were not backed up. Resolved an issue which prevented an error message from appearing under when attempting to back up VSS sets when the option to Enable support for backing up open files is deselected. Known Issues No new known issues were identified in this release.
Version 2.12
This topic provides release notes for this version of MozyPro for Windows. Release notes identify new and changed features, as well as any issues. New or Changed Features This section describes features which are new or changed in this release. Choose Language When MozyPro is installed, it automatically sets its default language to match the language of the operating system. Now, you can change the language for MozyPro backup after installation. To do this, right-click the MozyPro icon in your system tray, then click Settings > Settings. On the Settings Window, click Options, then the Advanced tab. Status Window Shows Deleted Files The Status window now indicates during a backup that deleted files or deselected files are being archived for the 30-day retention period. After that period, these files are permanently deleted from the data center. This confirms that those files are no longer being backed up, and are immediately no longer counted against your use of storage space. This also alerts you when files you want to back up are not being backed up in situations like these: A drive on your computer is malfunctioning, causing some or all files to appear to be missing and therefore deleted. You have 30 days before those files are permanently deleted from the data center. In that time you can resolve the issue with the drive, possibly by restoring your files to a replacement drive. Files on your computer may have been unintentionally deleted or deselected from backing up. A drive on your computer is not connected while MozyPro is backing up, so its files are considered deleted. If you reconnect that drive during a subsequent backup in the next 30 days, all files marked for deletion from the data center are un-marked and reassociated with their counterparts on your hard drive. If you wait to reconnect that drive until after those files are deleted from the data center, you may need to re-select those files and back them up again from scratch. If you review the Status window when backups complete, you can notice if there is a problem with your computer and be able to take action before you permanently lose files. To open the Status window, right-click the MozyPro icon in your system tray, then click Status. History Window Shows Deleted Files Now, deleted files are listed on the History window. This provides more visibility to files no longer being backed up, whether intentional or not, as described in the previous topic. To open the History window, right-click the MozyPro icon in your system tray, then click History.
168
Restore Tab Shows Deleted Files The Restore tab on the Settings window now shows all files deleted or deselected from backing up in past 30 days. This is helpful to customers whose first step in replacing a computer is to install MozyPro on their new computer, telling it to replace their old computer, then completing the first backup. The effect of doing so is that all files not present on the new computer are considered deleted. Now it's easier to see and restore such files. An alternate first step in replacing a computer is to get all your files onto the new computer before you install MozyPro. If the replacement is planned, the fastest option is to manually move your files between computers. If the replacement is not planned and you don't have your old computer, you can log into your account online and use Web restore to get all your files onto the new computer. To open the Restore tab, right-click the MozyPro icon in your system tray, then click Restore Files. Time Limit for Suspended Backups When you suspend automatic or scheduled backups up with MozyPro, you can now set a time limit for the suspension. This means you no longer need to remember to manually un-suspend to resume backing up, though you can manually un-suspend any time. You may still manually back up if you wish. Backing up manually does not cancel suspension of automatic or scheduled backups. While the suspension is in effect, the MozyPro icon in the system tray displays a !. You may specify the time limit in hours (1-23), days (1-6) and weeks (1-6). This means that the shortest time you can suspend is one hour, and the longest time you can suspend is six weeks. If you don't specify a time limit, the default is six hours. To change or extend the time limit, you must un-suspend, then re-suspend to reset the time limit. You can find this option on the Settings window, on the Scheduling tab under Options, or you can toggle it on and off from the system tray icon menu by clicking Settings > Suspend. If you control it from the system tray icon menu, the time limit will be either the default of six hours, or the duration you had provided for the last suspension. Depending on your version of the MS Windows operating system and on how your user profile is set up on your computer, the suspend option may be dimmed. If it is dimmed, you need to use MS Windows' UAC (User Account Control) before you can use this setting. When a Scheduled Backup Is Missed, Back Up Automatically You can set MozyPro to back up on a schedule instead of automatically. Now, if a scheduled backup is missed (as when the internet connection is lost or when the computer is not running), MozyPro automatically backs up when computer usage thresholds permit, rather than waiting until the next scheduled backup. This might be useful, for instance, if your normal routine changes so that your computer is turned off during your scheduled backup time, such as when you're traveling. You can turn this setting off if you wish, on the Scheduling tab under Options on the MozyPro Settings window. Log Level Settings for Troubleshooting There are now log level settings in MozyPro to assist in troubleshooting when in contact with Customer Support. These options are on the Settings window, on the General tab under Options.
169
DFS Replication for SYSVOL Supported for Active Directory Restores The SYSVOL writer used by MozyPro now supports DFS-based replication as well as FRS-based replication. This supports customers operating MS Windows Server 2008 at the domain level, which uses DFS replication by default. Stash Folder Excluded from Backups The Stash folder will be automatically excluded from your backups. Stash uses the Stash folder in your profile to provide synchronization services from one device to another. These files are stored in your online Stash and are already protected by Mozy so do not need to be included with your backed up files. For more information about Stash and joining the Stash Beta program, visit the Stash Beta Forum. Issues This topic describes issues fixed in this version of MozyPro backup for Windows. If any new issues are identified in this version, warnings, prevention, work-arounds, or fixes are also identified. Issues Fixed The Setup Wizard window now opens more quickly during installation, making less likely to seem as if the program is hung. Ensured that on the Proxy Settings window, when the username and password fields are required but empty, that the OK button cannot be used. This makes it more difficult to set up proxies with missing information. Improved the speed of opening the File System tab on the Settings window. Improved Japanese translation of text on Status window regarding when the last successful backup occurred. Improved performance of backups when the setting to Automatically detect proxy settings is enabled but no proxy is set. Addressed an issue causing an invalid temporary folder to be defined under specific conditions. Address issue causing local backup to report EFS errors for files not encrypted with EFS under specific conditions. Resolved some issues backing up and removing network shares under specific conditions. Known Issues No new known issues were identified in this release. Maintenance Release Version 2.12.1 This section provides maintenance release notes for this version of MozyPro for Windows. New or Changed Features MozyHome can now display current offerings in a banner. Issues This topic describes issues fixed in this version of MozyPro for Windows. If any new issues are identified in this version, warnings, prevention, work-arounds, or fixes are also identified. Resolved an issue causing a crash when changes are posted to a file undergoing a back-end integrity check.

Version 2.10
This topic provides release notes for this version of MozyPro for Windows. Release notes identify new and changed features, as well as any issues. New or Changed Features Improved speed and efficiency of file scanning process. Improved the responsiveness of the Settings window while MozyPro is scanning drives for large numbers of files. Data Shuttle For initial online backups with MozyPro larger than 100 GB, Data Shuttle may be a faster option. Currently, this is available only to MozyPro customers with addresses in the U.S. which are not post office boxes. To determine whether you may use Data Shuttle for your initial backup, contact Mozy sales. Issues This topic describes issues fixed in this version of MozyPro backup for Windows. If any new issues are identified in this version, warnings, prevention, work-arounds, or fixes are also identified. Issues Fixed Version 2.10 Improved detection of file changes to mark those files for backup. Resolved issues where symlinks or changing the case of a folder name resulted in an incorrect duplication of files on the server, counting against use of storage space. Resolved an issue preventing installation on some Windows 7 x64 systems. Improved restore performance of locally encrypted files when using 2x Protect local backup. Improved local backup error reporting. Resolved an issue causing EFS-encrypted files to be backed up for local backups, even when that setting is disabled. Improved local backup performance when Microsoft Volume Snapshots encountered errors. Resolved issue where defective snapshots provided by third-parties caused MozyPro to not back up changed files while reporting success. Now, the base snapshot provider is preferred over third-party providers. Multiple users are now prevented from opening the MozyPro Settings window at the same time. Known Issues Version 2.10 Network shares are not being backed up. Do not use this client version if you are backing up network shares. Maintenance Release Issues This topic describes issues fixed in maintenance releases for version 2.10 of MozyPro backup for Windows. If any new issues are identified in this version, warnings, prevention, work-arounds, or fixes are also identified. Issues Fixed Version 2.10.2 Improved speed and efficiency of file scanning process.

Known Issues Version 2.10.7 No new known issues were identified for this version.
Version 2.8.2
This topic provides release notes for this version of MozyPro for Windows. Release notes identify new and changed features, as well as any issues. New or Changed Features Prevent Backups from Using Certain Networks You can now prevent backups from happening when your computer is connected to certain networks. You might want to do this for mobile or metered networks, or for a network that is slow or has limited bandwidth. This can be pre-set and locked by MozyPro administrators. Scheduled Backups Start within a Timeframe Scheduled backups no longer start at exactly at the time you specify. Instead, scheduled backups now start within a 30 minute window, from 15 minutes before to 15 minutes after the time you specify. This does not affect automatic backups. This was done because people tend to schedule backups at the same time, most often at the top of the hour. This causes a large volume of backups trying to reach the MozyPro servers all at the same time, which sometimes resulted in backups failing. Access to Set Up Proxy Servers This feature is now located on the Network tab, instead of on the Advanced tab.
172
Help is Online Only All links to help topics within MozyPro backup now go to topics at the online doc site, http://docs.mozy.com, instead of offline help installed with MozyPro. Localization MozyPro backup is now available in these languages: de_DE, German en_GB, English (United Kingdom) en_US, English (United States of America) es_ES, Spanish fr_FR, French (France) it_IT, Italian ja_JP, Japanese nl_NL, Dutch pt_BR, Portuguese (Brazil) Issues This topic describes issues fixed in this version of MozyPro backup for Windows. If any new issues are identified in this version, warnings, prevention, work-arounds, or fixes are also identified. Issues Fixed Resolved some causes of backups reported as hanging when throttling was used. Improved the retry logic when encountering a ServerError2. Resolved an issue causing floppy drives assigned drive letters A or B to be scanned when Local Backup was in use, though such drives were not selected. Improved detection of file changes. Known Issues No new known issues were identified for this version.

Backing Up with Data Shuttle
This section contains the following topics:
Topics:
175
The Data Shuttle device arrives with instructions in the package. If the instructions are lost, contact your Mozy sales representative. Refer to these instructions to begin using Data Shuttle. When the Data Shuttle device is connected, the Data Shuttle wizard provides guidance for the file transfer process. Important: A return shipping label is also in the package. Keep the label and original packaging to use when sending the Data Shuttle device back to Mozy when the transfer of files to the device is complete. Tip: If you're using a VM (virtual machine), be sure USB pass-through is enabled. Following is a general overview of using Data Shuttle. 1. Choose one of the following options. If MozyPro is not yet installed on the computer to be backed up with Data Shuttle, download and install it from: http://mozy.com/downloads/mozyprosetup.exe. For more information, see Installing MozyPro on page 13. If a backup with MozyPro is currently underway, go to the next step.
2. Connect the Data Shuttle device to an available eSata or USB 2.0 port on the computer. If a backup is in progress, it automatically stops and is redirected to the Data Shuttle device. 3. (Optional) If you have multiple Data Shuttle devices connected, then select the volume you want to use when prompted. 4. Verify and save the selection of files for transfer. The transfer of files starts automatically, encrypting the files and transferring them from the computer to the Data Shuttle device. 5. (Optional) If the size of the transfer is large enough, more than one Data Shuttle device is sent. In that case, when prompted to do so, connect the additional Data Shuttle devices successively as the transfer proceeds. 6. Once the files have been transferred, pack the Data Shuttle device, the cables, and the power cord into the original packaging and return it to Mozy using the provided overnight shipping label. While the Data Shuttle device is in transit to Mozy, routinely back up over the Internet with MozyPro. Once you are notified that the transfer of files from the Data Shuttle device to the Mozy data center is complete, you may restore files if necessary.

Commands for Windows Backup
MozyPro uses InnoSetup () to script and package the MozyPro client installer. InnoSetup can be called from most other installer packages and supports a number of parameters. The following table explains the switches that can be used when starting an installation from the command line:
Switch /SP /SILENT /VERYSILENT /NORESTART Definition Disables the "This will install... Do you wish to continue?" prompt at the beginning of the installation. Causes the installer to present only a progress bar without details and without need for user intervention. Forces the installer to present no dialog at all. The install takes place entirely in the background. No user intervention is required. If a reboot is required, the user is not prompted. By default, if a reboot is required, the user is prompted to reboot. If a restart is necessary, the /NORESTART command isn't used, and Setup is silent, the installer displays a Reboot now? message box. If set to /VERYSILENT, the installer reboots without asking. Disables the tray icon. Prevents the Status window from appearing. Sets the installation language and the client language. You must use the 4 digit ISO code for the language and region, such as es-ES. Creates a log file of the specified filename in the specified directory. If no path is specified, the log file is created in the current working directory. The default working directories are \Program Files\MozyPro Enterprise\Data for Windows, and /Library/Logs for Mac. The log file details installation and run actions, and is created with a unique name based on the current date. (It does not overwrite or append any existing files). Prevents the user from canceling during the installation process. Specifies the custom exit code that setup returns when a restart is needed. Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after having checked the command line. This file can be prepared using the /SAVEINF= command, as explained below. Make sure you enclose the filename in quotes if the filename contains spaces. Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file. Make sure you enclose the filename in quotes if the filename contains spaces. Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified. Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. Defaults MozyPro to use a specified proxy. Usage example: /useproxy:proxyserver:80 /usemachinedefaultproxy Defaults MozyPro to use the machine's default proxy.
177
Switch /autodetectproxy /pacurl:URL /enablelocalbackup /disablelocalbackup /localbackup "\\server\shareA" [/user "username" /pwd "password"]
Definition Defaults MozyPro to automatically detect a proxy auto- Script using DHCP or DNS. Defaults MozyPro to use the proxy auto-configuration Script at the specified URL. If multiple proxy options are used, the last one specified takes precedence. Enables and disables the Mozy 2xProtect feature on the computer.
Allows Mozy 2xProtect to attach to and use a network share for backups. \\server\shareA represents the path to the network share. Optionally, use /user "username" /pwd "password" if your network share requires authentication, where username and password are the credentials for an account with access to the share. Example: kalypsoutil.exe /localbackup "\\AAServer\DataBackup" /user "admin" /pwd "mypassword"
/proxyuser:USERNAME /proxypass:PASSWORD
Specifies the user name used to connect to the proxy server. Specifies the password used to connect to the proxy server.

Internationalization
The MozyPro Windows client determines what language to display in from the language the Windows operating system displays in. In other words, if your Windows operating system is in Italian, when you install MozyPro, it will be set to display in Italian. If you need to change the language for the MozyPro Windows client after installation, you will need to install the Windows Multilingual User Interface (MUI) appropriate for your operating system. For more information, see Install the Windows MUI on page 179.

Note that on Windows Vista, some languages are not fully localized. Therefore, an additional option is presented to choose the fallback language. For example, for Arabic, you can choose either French or Spanish to fill in the gaps for the pieces that are not localized to Arabic. Since the Mozy client only has complete localizations, we don't care about this, but it can generate multiple entries in our own fallback list, so that if the user chooses French as the Arabic fallback, the client displays in French instead of English, because we don't have Arabic.

This is the process your MozyPro online account pages use to determine what language to use: 1. 2. 3. 4. Determines if the language is included as part of the URL. (While this is not typical, it is an option.) Determines if you have a login cookie. Determines if a language is set in your browser. Determines the default language setting.
If the login page cannot determine the language, the login page is displayed in English and you can choose a language.
