Slow restores, downloads a problem for Mozy

EMC-owned Mozy has been one of the leaders in online backup during the past couple of years, but some users are starting to grumble about the elements of the service that really matter.

The old adage in IT is that your backup is only as good as your last restore and as Beth Pariseau reports for SearchDataBackup.com the Mozy restore experience can be frustratingly slow. Pariseau cites a few examples from real users who have encountered poor performance when they needed a fast recovery.

This sort of issue is going to become more and more important in determining which cloud storage provider to go with if you are using it as a backup solution.
