Article Reference ID: 000362520
Version 2.32.8
New or Changed Features
- For users of MozyHome or MozyPro, there is a new a backup set for automatically backing up critical Microsoft Edge files, including favorites. In some situations, you must reactivate the backup software to get the new backup set. For users of MozyHome, select the Allow back up and display of protected operating system files option in the Options tab under Advanced, then close and reopen the backup software. The set appears in the Backup Sets tab.
- Users without administrator rights on a computer can now activate the backup software. Generally, users with limited rights, such as those in a UAC environment, cannot activate the backup software through the user interface without providing the computer administrator password. The administrator can now install the backup software in a way that does not require the administrator password for activation. To use this feature, administrators install but do not activate the software using the new /nonadminactivation command line option (example, Mozysetup.exe /nonadminactivation). Then, users log in to the computer, right-click the Mozy icon, choose the Continue Setup option, and activate the software using their credentials.

- The process for administrators to configure automatic updates to computers for users without administrator rights has been simplified. Administrators must only enable and lock the Install new versions of Mozy silently when they are made available preference in the client configuration file. They no longer add registry keys to the computer. For more information, see http://support.mozy.com/map?lang=en_US&mn=uacupdate.
Fixed Issues
- Fixed an issue for users replacing a computer and using the private key encryption type. The backup software reported an error with changing the encryption key, attempted to back up files, and stopped with a EncryptionError8 error.
- On Windows 2008 Server 64-bit, fixed an issue for users that updated to version 2.32.6. The update prevented the backup software from running. Users of Windows 2008 Server 64-bit should restart their computer after updating to this version.
Version 2.32.4
New or Changed Features
In organizations where users have standard rights on their computers (controlled through UAC settings) and MozyEnterprise for Windows, Mozy administrators can eliminate the need to type the computer administrator password when installing updates to the backup software. By adding two Windows registry keys and taking advantage of the automatic update feature in the backup software, the administrator can silently deploy and install updates using update rules that are created in the Admin Console.
