CrashPlan was originally made available to both business and consumer users, however, Code42 now only focuses on the business market. CrashPlan is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices. This is a handy nugget of information as a lot of cloud backup solutions do not support mobile devices.īackups via CrashPlan are 100% encrypted and password protected. All data is uploaded via the cloud to one of Code42’s remote data centers. For an additional layer of security, organizations can opt-in for the PROe plan that allows select users such as executives to backup data to a private server instead of one of Code42’s data centers. Since CrashPlan is compatible across multiple device types, a user can utilize a single CrashPlan account to backup all of their devices. No one wants to get stuck paying a per-device cost when you can streamline all of your devices under one account and one license. Those of you who have to manage budgets will be really happy about this. With Code42’s friendly dashboard, managers can easily look at all the machines in their environment and tell if someone hasn’t backed up for a considerable amount of time. The manager can then take the appropriate action based on whether this is a technical or end-user issue. Along with this, you can set up CrashPlan to backup at a specific time of the day or whenever a change to a file is made. The latter minimizes the likelihood of data loss. For one, you can only retrieve your data via a web browser or the CrashPlan app. You may be saying to yourself ‘well yeah, that makes sense and yes it does but when you compare data retrieval options offered by other vendors, CrashPlan can do a lot better. For example, Backblaze (which we will get into next) will mail you an external hard drive to recover your lost files. Pricing for CrashPlan is a sticking point for a lot of people. The pricing isn’t bad for small to medium-sized teams but as an organization continues to grow, expenses for CrashPlan can become very costly.
Other vendors offer their services for a lot less for the same features. As we continue to navigate uncharted territory with COVID-19, budgets are as constrained as ever. Just something to keep in mind.īackblaze is another great solution for backup. Backblaze not only backs up individual user data but you can also use Backblaze to back up an on-site server. Pricing for Backblaze starts at $6/Per Computer/Per Month for a month-to-month plan for computers. Pricing for the server backup option varies as it depends on how much data is being backed up.īackblaze is one of the most economically friendly solutions out there. It’s great for teams of any size and users can backup an unlimited amount of data.
This is a huge plus since you don’t have to worry about hitting a storage cap. The best part? back-ups are encrypted with the standard AES 128-bit encryption. This sort of encryption is generally uncrackable.
