30-Day Versioning of Files
The 30-day versioning support allows you to restore deleted or previous versions
of files for ultimate data protection. If you accidentally delete a file and want to
access the original version of a document that has since been changed or edited
several times, you are able to because Mozy keeps all previous copies of a file for
30 days.
Mozy will always keep the most recent copy of a file if the following conditions are
met:
• You have an active account with Mozy.
• You have performed a backup within the last month.
• The file has not been deleted or removed from your computer.
• The file is selected for backup.
Here are some examples to help explain how long a file is saved on the Mozy
servers:
• If you signed up for a two year account and backed up once on January 1,
2009, you can still restore the same file on January 1, 2011.
• If you deleted a file by accident on the 1st day of the month, you will have
until the 30th of that same month to restore the file.
• If you removed a file from being backed up on the 1st day of the month, you
will have until the 30th of that same month to restore the file.
• If you run a backup once a day, after 30 days you will have 30 different
restores you can select from.
• If you changed a file, you will have 30 days from the day the change was
uploaded to restore the previous version of the file.
