Products
Mozy published three editions: MozyHome, MozyPro, and MozyEnterprise.
MozyHome was the consumer edition of the Mozy backup service, offered as a monthly subscription or various other plans. In January 2012 Mozy opened the public beta of its cloud storage / synchronization feature called Mozy Stash, for free. MozyHome previously offered users an unlimited amount of storage space. In February 2011 they closed the unlimited service and began charging according to how much space was used.
MozyPro was the business edition of the Mozy backup service. Originally launched in 2007, MozyPro pricing was updated in 2012 for businesses to back up any number of computers for one price. For server backup, a business purchased the Server Pass for an additional monthly charge and backed up as many servers as they liked.
MozyEnterprise was for larger organizations and included support for Active Directory, user groups (in a company), and more administrator control over user rights. For Mozy administrators, the company detailed its keyless activation and pooled storage features in a 2013 EMC blog post. Mozy had more than 800 enterprise customers.

With all Mozy products, after the initial backup, Mozy only backed up new or changed portions of files. Backups could take place whenever the computer was not in use, either automatically or at scheduled times. All user data was encrypted locally with strong encryption prior to transfer via a 128-bit SSL connection. Users could choose a managed encryption key or a personal key for added security. Mozy's security did not let end-users shortcut the data deletion process. Mozy is both SSAE 16 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified.
In May 2010, Mozy launched MozyHome 2.0 and MozyPro 2.0, adding support for local backup, increased performance and a new user interface for consumers and small businesses.
In December 2013, Mozy received the runner-up "Backup and Recovery/Archive Product of the Year" and "Cloud Storage Product of the Year" awards from SVC Awards, with Barracuda Message Archiver by Barracuda Networks and Cloud Disaster Recovery Service by EVault products in front.
Early in 2018, Mozy was acquired by their largest competitor, Carbonite Inc.
Restore
In 2011, Mozy launched "restore manager" - a software tool to simplify the process of retrieving files from the Mozy cloud. It is also possible to restore through the Mozy client, in the Windows file tree, or by ordering an external drive from Mozy. Users can restore either the last version of any file backed up or any previous iteration backed up in the preceding thirty days or ninety days depending on the product.
