The support email sounds a little scary, but isn't the server part of the service also part of the beta? Maybe your expectations for beta software are too high?

I do think that they've fixed some of the issues with the last beta update. Nothing is secure, besides the client is in beta right now.

They do no appear in the on-line restore list. This seems to be caused by Mozy associating your data with a specific computer name. I have two computers registered but as soon as I moved my USB drive to my MAC I lost over 20GB of backup files that had taken over 2 weeks to upload. I have now closed my Mozy account and will be relying on DVD backups kept off-site. Seems like $5 a month for unlimited backups *was* too good to be true.
