If the hard drive in my PC fails, will MailStreet Online Backup by Mozy back up everything on my computer?

Online Backup was designed to back up your most important data files, such as your email, contact lists, photos, and financials. It was not designed to back up your system and application files. If you need to restore these types of files, it is much easier and more reliable to restore them using your original CDs. Restoring your system and application files from backups, or any type of “disk image,” is risky and difficult to do properly, and we don’t recommend or support it. Keep your original system and application CDs in a secure location, and back up your data files regularly using Online Backup. If your computer fails, use the CDs to restore your system and application files to your new hardware, and then use the Online Backup “Web Restore” feature to restore your data files.
