Backup my computers.

We needed offsite backups but the budget for it was tight. Crashplan fits the bill expect that the software is unreliable. Keep an eye on it to make sure it's doing its job.

CrashPlan is a lightweight application that handles backup with little no impact to device resources. We currently use it on our servers and faculty/staff laptops. It also makes data migration a simple task.

I have personally been using CrashPlan for the past few years after testing the "share to friend's feature". I liked what I saw, did some research, and decided to jump. It was money worth spent especially for the peace of mind it brought for protecting my files, pictures, and music. Little did I know that not long after purchasing a personal subscription to CrashPlan, my employer decided to purchase PROe. As an IT technician, I was part of the initial rollout so that we could evaluate it for the rest of the organization. A couple of years later and we are still using it and rely on it to backup every computer assigned to a full-time employee. On multiple occasions, CrashPlan has been there to restore data during catastrophic issues. Hard drive failures, not a problem. CryptoLocker, no sweat. We even use it for new computer deployments and just have the end user download their backed up data and then adopt their former computer’s backup. Everything just seems to work. Lastly, Code42 support has been great to us. They are quick to respond to questions or concerns. I cannot recommend CrashPlan highly enough.
