Replacing a Computer
In the event of disaster or data loss, you can use MozyHome to easily restore your backup to another computer. You can also migrate your backup from one computer to another, as well as transfer files from an old computer to a new computer. To switch to a new computer using your MozyHome account, you must replace your existing computer.
Note: Once you change computers on your existing account, you will no longer be able to perform backups on the replaced computer, but you will still be able to restore files from that computer for a period of 30 days.
To replace a computer:
-
When prompted during the install, log in to MozyHome using your email and password.
MozyHome automatically recognizes that you are using a different computer and starts the Replace Machine wizard.
Note: If you have more than one computer associated with your account, they will all be available for selection in the wizard.
-
Click Replace computer [Computer Name] for the computer you want to replace, then click Next.
A dialog appears asking you to confirm the replacement.
Note: You cannot replace an OS X ( Mac) computer with a Windows computer (or the reverse). Doing so will generate a cross-platform migration error, and the replacement will fail.
- Click Yes to proceed with the replacement. When the replacement is complete, a confirmation dialog appears.
- Click Next. The Setup Complete dialog appears.
