How Mozy works
EMC_MozyEterprsie_v2_504984_w00 (Mozy) is ABC’s (ABC’s) corporate standard for
backing up data on laptop computers. Mozy is cloud-based software which allows the
software to run on any Internet-enabled computer in the world. The prerequisites for installing
and using Mozy include the following:
A laptop with a standard ABC corporate image running Microsoft (MS) Windows 7 or
MS Windows 8.1
An E-mail account
An Internet connection
NOTE: Mozy will not work on desktop computers or MS Windows XP Computers.
Once Mozy is installed, it will perform the following functions:
Backup data when a laptop is connected to the Internet, regardless of whether the
laptop is connected to ABC’s network
Backup data saved in C:MyFiles and your C:Users{user_ID}
Certain features in Mozy have been restricted by ABC’s IT Department, such as changing the
type of encryption settings and changing which folders can be backed up. These restrictions
are in place to protect data from being exploited or compromised.
The next section explains how to request the Mozy software through the IT SRM system.

What settings are restricted
ABC’s IT Department restricts changes
to certain settings for the Mozy agents.
EUC reserves the right to modify these
restrictions at any time. Users are not
able to change any of the following:
Number of computers or devices
which can be backed up. Only
one laptop per user is authorized
to use Mozy.
The encryption key and any respective passphrases, both of which are kept
confidential.
Directories or folders which can be backed up, currently limited to C:MyFiles and
C:Users{UserID}.
NOTE: Be sure to save data to either C:MyFiles to be sure your data is backed up.
How to use Mozy
PART 1: Backing up files

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Information in this section is intended for ABC IT personnel only. Users must
contact the IT Service Desk at X1234 for all troubleshooting assistance.
This section covers common errors related to Mozy and is intended to guide the Service Desk
and Field Services personnel in resolving the most common issues.
ISSUE RESOLUTION
Activation fails with “An
error occurred: No
available license keys.”
No license is available in the Mozy admin console for the user.
Create a low priority incident in iDeliver to request a new
license, then assign it to the queue IO_End User Computing.
Activation of the Mozy
agent fails after installation.
On the user’s computer, click Start > All Programs > Mozy
Enterprise > Manual Activation. Then, follow the steps to
complete the manual activation process
Activation fails with error

C:ProgramDataMozy.
An error appears during
activation:
“MozyClientError6: There is
no username or password
associated with your
account. You have not
configured your
MozyEnterprise client.”
The e-mail address in the Mozy Admin Console does not match

EUC or the Mozy
Engineering Team requests
verbose log files for
advanced troubleshooting.
Follow these steps to create log files:
1. Hold down the shift key on the keyboard.
2. Right click on Mozy icon in the notification area next to the
clock.
3. Select Gather Log files for Mozy Support.
4. A ZIP file will be created on the desktop which can then be
emailed to ITEUC Support or attached to an incident in iDeliver.
A message appears “A
MozyEnterprise
Configuration file
containing previous backup
selections was found.
Importing this file restores
previous backup selections.
After completing the
installation, please review
your selections in the
Settings window. Do you
want to import the saved
configuration?”
This is an informational message. A previous backup for the
computer was found. Determine whether the files need to be
restored. If so, click Yes. If the backup belonged to a previous
owner, then do not restore the files and choose No.
Unable to restore files from
an old computer to a new
computer using the Web
Console. An error appears
“No Files In Restore. The
restore you requested
cannot be completed
because no files were
selected. Please be sure
the file count is not zero
before submitting a restore
request.”
A software or hardware firewall, such as the ISA Firewall or
Windows Protection Firewall, is blocking connectivity to the
Mozy website. Turn of all software firewalls. If attempting to
restore files while not connected to the internal ABC network,
then check for a hardware firewall as the possible cause.
An error appears when
attempting to restore files
using the Web Console:
Make sure the computer is connected directly to the network. If
using a wireless connection, try using a wired connection to the
network instead.

F.A.Q.
1. Can I backup more than one computer or device?
No. Unfortunately, at this time ABC authorizes one license per user, which allows you
to backup only one laptop or device.
2. What to do when my computer is replaced?
If your computer must be upgraded or replaced, please notify the field services
technician who is helping you. Field services will create an incident for IO_End User
Computing. EUC will work together with field services to make sure Mozy is installed
and your data is properly restored to your new computer.
3. What to do if my name changes?
Follow the ordinary steps to request a name change. For help, contact the IT Service
Desk at X1234. Mozy integrates with ABC’s Active Directory infrastructure. Anytime a
password or name is changed in AD, the changes are automatically copied to Mozy.
4. How long does it take to backup data?
Data/Speed 1.5 Mbps 10 Mbps ABC Network
100 MB 10 min 2 min 9 sec
1 GB 2 hrs 15 min 2 min
10 GB 16 hrs 3 hrs 15 min
30 GB 2 days 7 hrs 45 min
Table 1: Estimated backup time based on Internet connection speeds
The first backup will take longer than subsequent backups. Refer to the above chart
for an approximate times. Factors influencing backup speed include, but are not
limited to, the following:
Amount of data – More data will increase backup time.
Number of files – Mozy must prepare each file for backup, therefore more files
will increase backup time.
25. __________________________________________________________________________
Page 25 of 27
Size of files – Larger files take longer to backup, especially if a backup is
interrupted and must resume.
Connection speed – Backup performed while connected to ABCs internal
network will be faster than backups performed when connected to the Internet
from home.
State of the computer – If the computer is shut down, hibernates, goes to
sleep or standby, a backup will stop. When the computer is active again, it will
resume where it left off.
Computer usage – If the computer is processing large amounts of data, has
multiple programs open, or is transferring large amounts of data across the
network, then fewer resources are available for Mozy to backup files which will
increase backup time.
5. How long does Mozy keep files I delete from my computer?
Mozy does not permanently keep files. The grace period for recovering files which
have been deleted from the C: drive is 90 days.
6. How do I temporarily stop backing up data?
See PART 3: Stopping backups under How to use Mozy on page 16.
7. Can I change the encryption key type?
No. Mozy uses a special enterprise encryption key that is managed by the IT
department. The IT department may change the encryption key from time to time for
security reasons, but the changes will be unknown to end users.
8. What settings are restricted by the IT department?
The IT Department restricts the following settings from being changed:
The encryption key and encryption type
The folders which may be backed up
The number of devices which can be backed up
9. What if files in the sync folder do not update?
In rare situations, the files backed up online may not match the files saved under
C:MyFiles. Pause, then resume, synching. Follow these steps:
26. __________________________________________________________________________
Page 26 of 27
1. Right click the Mozy icon in the notification area next to the clock at the bottom
right.
2. Click Pause.
NOTE: The Pause label will change to resume.
3. Wait a few minutes, then right click the Mozy icon in the notification area again.
4. Click Resume.
10. How much data can I backup with Mozy?
There is no limit. All data saved under C:MyFiles and C:Users{User_ID} will be
backed up.
11. Can I start over and reset file synchronization for files already backed up?
No. Mozy Enterprise does not offer an option to reset file synchronization. Only retail
or home users of Mozy have this option.
12. What if the activation process does not start automatically?
If the activation process does not start automatically after installing Mozy, click Start >
All Programs > Mozy Enterprise > Manual Activation. Then, follow the steps to
complete the manual activation process.
