Hi,

Please follow the below process, then you will login successfully.

There are multiple steps to the installation process:

1. Download the MozyHome client from the Mozy Web site.
2. Install the software on your computer.
3. Configure the MozyHome client software.

Downloading MozyHome
You can download MozyHome on any computer. You may need to do this any of these reasons:

• To manually upgrade to the latest version of MozyHome on a computer you are currently backing up.
• To start backing up a new computer you've added to your account.
• To start backing up a replacement computer if your old computer was lost, stolen or damaged.

Tip: Before you install MozyHome on your new computer to replace a computer you can no longer use, you should restore all the files backed up from your old computer. To do this, log in to your account online and restore from the Web. This is a good idea because once your replacement computer is backed up, any files that are not on your new computer are marked for deletion from the Mozy servers after 30 days. This approach gives you as much time as you need to be sure all your files are safely restored to your new computer. Only after you are sure, install MozyHome to tell Mozy you've replaced the old computer and to continue backing up those files. For more information, see My Computers on page 64.
