[X4U] Mozy backup service referrals seem a nifty idea

[Neil Laubenthal]

I created a free account to test this out . . .downloaded the app and  
installed it on my G4 running 10.4.11. This is my file server at home;  
I was going to backup a couple of directories to see (like Jamie) how  
this worked.

I even tried rebooting the G4; but when I launch Mozy I get the same  
results every time. The config window comes up with the preconfigured  
Backup jobs and the 'calculating size' animated icons at the right end  
twirl away . . .after about 30 seconds or so the application is "not  
responding" and must be force quit.

If I select the Files and Folder option within the first couple of  
seconds . . . I get the File/Folder selection screen. Selecting a  
folder and clicking the 'backup xxx' button gives me the green check  
mark next to all the files in the folder . . .but clicking OK gives me  
a dialog that asks if I want to quit without saving anything. Clicking  
Yes gets me into the application hung mode again (requiring a force  
quit) clicking No takes me back to the File/Folder selection dialog  
with the green checkmarks.

The file server logs in automatically with an admin account so that's  
not it.

Shrug . . . dunno what the problem is.
