File Sharing Options
Acronis provides support for quickly linking to any stored file via a Web URL. This makes sharing files and folders with other users a breeze. With just one-click you can make any of your stored files securely accessible to anybody you want. MozyHome doesn't provide the ability to share files with other users.
Encryption
Both Acronis and MozyHome provide military-grade 256-bit AES encryption. Your data can't be accessed by anyone without the password to unlock the encryption on the server. For this reason, regardless of the service you choose, change your password regularly. Strong passwords can be cracked within four days when using common brute-force techniques. However, both companies provide automatic account-locking options to prevent the retrieval of your password.
Backup Process
Both software programs provide automatic backup options and restoration of various versions of the same file. If you need a previous version of your file, you can access your online backup repository to access the version of the file you need. Acronis True Image Online Backup lets you back up five computers, while MozyHome only allows you to back up a single computer. If you own multiple computers, Acronis provides the better value.
