Technical Help / Mozy and older versions of Windows
« on: Friday 21 July 17 12:15 BST (UK) »
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.
