Mozy and older versions of Windows

[PrawnCocktail]

I have used Mozy for years, successfully.

But I am still running Microsoft Vista. Mozy have now stopped supporting this.

If you are on an older computer, run Mozy, and are offered an update, DO NOT ACCEPT IT.

Mozy will stop backing up your files.

There is an older version you can re-install, but will then have to go through a complete new install, and manually reselect the files you want to back up (the automated version doesn't work). And there's still no guarantee that an automatic update won't knacker it again, so you have to start again all over again.

Possibly downloading and installing a free virtual machine is your answer. You then install an operating system of your choice and install your program. You can ensure no internet connection to prevent unwanted updates..Very useful too for reading old floppy disks.
