I've got a question for those who use Mozy. If I move my ehd to a different computer (ie from my desktop to my laptop) will it read it as a different ehd?

Well, I believe that Mozy only works on one computer unless you buy more Mozy subscriptions. If you need to move the EHD to another computer, then you'd turn off the automatic mozy backup on the computer, or mozy will think that you've erased the EHD and it will erase your backup too. But as long as you've stopped the backups while the EHD is away from it's normal computer, then all should be fine. Hope that helps! Do the trial version of mozy with a small file and you should see what I mean.

I have a second internal hard drive for backup. I also use carbonite for online backup because I'd hate to loose all the digital photos in a fire.

I don't leave my EHD on all the time, so I don't know what to do about that with Mozy. I have too much stuff to even fit on my internal drive, lol!

It's on MOST of the time, but sometimes I turn it off to let it cool down.

If you turn off your EHD, turn off the automatic backup with Mozy. It is just a click of your mouse, their controls seem easy to me. If you forget to turn Mozy back on after 5 days, then it will do a pop up screen and remind you. So having your EHD off isn't a problem as long as Mozy doesn't do a backup and suddenly think you've erased your EHD because it's now off.

Having your whole computer off isn't a problem because Mozy won't be able to online connect to it and nothing will happen.

Ok I gotcha. What about with like Bree said? Turning the computer/ehd off?
