Crashplan restore pending8/4/2023 Cloud backups are neat and all but I don’t trust any providers to not turn over my data to the government or other people. One of the other things I’ve always lusted after in my own personal backup solution is heavy-duty encryption. Backing up is really about restoring, after all. Restores seem to be pretty speedy, which is good. military the service is free, just send them an email from your. That’s fine if there’s not a lot of change, but might be a problem if I have big files changing regularly. CrashPlan has a seed option, too, where you can pay for a drive to be sent to you with either a restore archive already on it, or for you to create an archive and mail it back. ![]() It’s been getting 500 Kbps from a Linux host I have attached to a decent network connection, which means it’s going to take 19 days or so to back up the 100 GB of data I have there. The cloud backup part is a little pokey, though. You can set passwords on the local client, though, and passwords & keys on the uploaded data, which trade ease-of-use for more privacy. The downside to that is that it’s one account that can see all the data backed up into it, so if you think that this would be a good way to back up your brother-in-law’s computer you need to make sure you trust that he’s not going to go trolling through all your data. I really like that they have an unlimited data family plan, up to 10 computers, which is pretty inexpensive (like $6 a month) if you decide to pony up for 4 years of service. The paid side of the service is the cloud backup and some advanced features in the client, like “backup sets.” Backup sets are really just multiple source/target/schedule combinations, that’s all, but it’s handy if you want to back your photos up locally but send your documents up to the cloud. The client is free, works on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Solaris, and can back up between computers, to drives, and to friends for free, with full encryption support. I stumbled upon CrashPlan a few weeks ago and instantly took a liking to it. “What do you mean you don’t have the video of her ?” ![]() I also don’t want to run the risk of data loss when it comes to things my relatives would judge me on. I’ve been using a hodgepodge of external disks and synchronization software to keep a spare copy of my data, photos, and media, but with the impending birth of my daughter I figure I’m not going to have time or the willingness to mess around with kludgy solutions anymore. ![]() For a long while now I’ve been looking for a decent & automatic way to protect the data on the multitude of computers I support in my personal life.
