In most situations, Mozy software performs its tasks without issues. However, if an issue does occur, you may be able to resolve it on your own with a little bit of research, or you can request assistance. The problems you encounter may be related to the backup software itself, or they can also be related to your Mozy account. Your computer's settings can also affect the way Mozy runs.
