Unfortunately it is NOT true that Mozy works properly (all the time like it should) on Windows 7. Very often it gets stuck at “Preparing to Backup” for hours and clicking Cancel doesn’t do anything. Like right now.
Also, double-clicking the icon on the taskbar doesn’t bring up the status window. You have to go and manually run MozyHome Status from the Start menu.
Feels very unreliable – I can’t tell when it is actually backing up or not. I just paid for an entire year subscription and am not confident at all that I’m being sufficiently protected. I’m disappointed that Mozy doesn’t release more frequent updates for bug fixes, of which you guys have many.

On Windows 7 Mozy will get to 100% on my first file, then my system blue screens every single time. Please spend a little more debugging time on Windows 7 support, as I really need this to work.

Mozy service doesn’t start on my Windows 7 Ultimate – getting Event-ID 7000 and 7009 where source is Service Ctrl Manager – any ideas ?

Mozy isn’t working on my Windows 7 machine. It tells me it’s backing up 300MB but completes in less than a minute. I have a fast internet connection but not that fast!

Is anyone else having problems with “Open file support is disabled (SnapshotError1)” even if I have enabled this setting. It came after installing W7.

It would be nice to see some proper Windows 7 clients soon, especially as I’ve just been told in no uncertain terms by customer support that “we are not supporting Windows 7″.

Good!
Now I am just waiting on that Mozy to work on Ubuntu!?
