Mozy makes it clear that this is truly Beta software. They are upfront about current bugs and several times point out that their currently may be problems. They also point out that logs will be transferred, etc. and that if you prefer not to be involved in beta-testing that you wait until the final version is released later this year.
I’m about to try it out myself, and expect to find things not working well here and there. The right thing to do if you are a BETA-tester is to try to help the developer improve the product, not be so negative in public. This kind of response is what keeps developers from having open beta-testing.

You have miss read my intension of this series of posts about Mozy. I am trying to be factual and assist the Macintosh Mozy team in producing a great product that is usable and Mac like. I certainly understand "open betas", as I too was a Macintosh developer for over 10 years.
The version of Mozy I tested is now no longer in Beta and had improved a lot since I began trying and testing this software. Although, since then I had changed my backup strategy, which does not include Mozy.
