This happens to me too. My favourite yet was glancing up at a black sky with only one bright star/planet visible a few months ago and the first thought to struck me was: "Must be a stuck pixel up there".

The Mozy Client would constantly time-out or was unable to communicate with their servers. It has been several months since I have been able to complete a backup on my main computer. Have been relying on my Time Machine backup to tide me over. Mozy's solution each time I contacted support was to download a new client. The new client never made a difference. Finally, after months of frustration, I decided to switch. I downloaded BackBlaze this weekend. The software is humming along backing up my 3 computers. So far a very happy BackBlaze customer.

My principal beef with Mozy has been their purporting to support external drives the same way Backblaze does--i.e. you can unplug the drive without losing the backup as long as you plug it in within 30 days--whereas in reality if you unplug a drive, that backup simply disappears. Very script-driven support techs who never seemed to have read anything very carefully, giving boilerplate replies that missed the point, finally were honest enough to admit that there was no solution to the problem. Gee thanks. Appreciate the info.
