Comcast Offers Online Backup, Sharing Through Mozy

Comcast's SOHO customers now get Mozy's free 2GB online backup, storage and sharing service bundled with the cable TV company's broadband Internet service. Big deal, we say.

"Comcast will bundle online storage capacity from EMC's Mozy division with its broadband service and let residential subscribers share the content they store with friends -- or with the entire Internet.

With the new Secure Backup & Share feature, users of Comcast high-speed Internet automatically get 2GB of space in Mozy's data centers for backing up any data from their home computers. They can also buy 50GB for US$4.99 per month or $49.99 per year, or 200GB for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year, the companies announced Thursday. The feature is available now."
