Where does Mozy keep its temporary files? Can I change this location?

By default, Mozy stores temporary data in the Windows %TMP% directory, which is usually C:\Windows\temp. It will generate temporary files as it backs up and then delete them when it's done.

You can change this location by editing your registry. (Click your Start menu, then click Run, type "regedit" and click OK.) Within the Registry Editor:

1. Go to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Mozy\options
Right-click in the blank space on the right side and select New then String Value. Change the New Value's name to tempdir.

2. Right-click the tempdir key and select Modify. Set the value to the location you want Mozy to build its temporary files, click "OK," and close the registry editor.

3. Go to Windows Services and find the MozyPro Backup entry and stop it then start it.

Your next backup will create its temporary files in the directory you specified.
