Version 1.2.0

New or Changed Features

  • Mozy Sync now has the option to use a personal encryption key to encrypt synchronized files. You can choose to use a personal encryption key at the end of the Mozy Sync installation process. Just like the backup software, Mozy does not have access to your personal key, so you must remember or save it so you can decrypt your files. Mozy Sync walks you through saving your key to a separate file so you have it if you need to restore your files.Use of a corporate encryption key, which an administrator provides to users, is also available. The corporate encryption key works just like it does with the backup software. Administrators can put the c-key on the user's computer or on an accessible server. Administrators then use the Admin Console c-key URL setting to specify the location of the key.

    Mozy Sync remembers your encryption key choice on the first installation, so if you install Mozy Sync on other computers, your encryption key type will match on each installation. If you use a personal encryption key, you must still provide your personal key during each installation of Mozy Sync.

    If you already use sync and want to change your encryption key type, you have to uninstall and reinstall Mozy Sync. For more information, see Change Encryption Key Type and Reset Mozy File Synchronization.

  • You can now use the command line to set a personal key for encrypting synchronized files, either by typing the passphrase for your key or by importing a personal key file. You can use these commands if you have previously set up a personal key for either Mozy Sync or the backup software. The commands are the same as the ones used in the backup software for Windows, /customkeytext and /customkeyfile. For more information, see Commands for Mozy Sync.
  • Some future Mozy Sync updates will be optional. There are still required updates that you will need to complete to keep syncing files, but for some future updates, you can choose whether or not to install the new version. Administrators can choose if or when to send an optional update to users.
  • If you have a large storage limit but are using only a small portion of it, the bar that represents your storage usage in the Preferences window now splits and zooms in to make it easier to read.

Fixed Issues

  • Fixed an issue that prevented the sync folder from being renamed.
  • Fixed issues with how Mozy Sync handles the new iWork file format.
