The Cloud gives users the ability to access all of their date from a variety of different mobile devices, ensuring the information is readily available and secure. Seems to me, with a single backup, that's a decent deal for now (to not have to re-upload everything again).One of the problems that face many Internet users today is they have so many more devices to get online, locking up all of their information in the desktop seems counterproductive. Once a quitter, always a quitter.Isn't that what they kind of did - double the pricing? For everything except the family plans - you are going from $60/yr to $120/yr in the Small Business option.Īnd they are giving you that Small Biz plan for the remainder of your current term - and then giving you 12 months after that for $2.50 per month. They could have doubled the pricing or achieved the same thing through tiered pricing, and I would have stayed put out of inertia (and the knowledge that I'm backing up a ton of data). They say they're doing it to focus on enterprise customers, but what enterprise would trust CrashPlan after they exit the consumer market in such an inglorious fashion. I have to think this spells the death knell for CrashPlan, though. (We have a 1G fiber connection, so backing it all up to a new source shouldn't take more than a few days to a few weeks, depending on the service's upload speed.) My CrashPlan subscription is good through March 31, 2018, so I have a few months to figure out where to move my 9TB of data. What's weird is in their calculator, they wanted to include those in the future pricing?!? Not sure why since they don't backup data? I didn't use the computer-to-computer option.ĭo you know if they have an iOS app for Crashplan for Small Business? When I started the upgrade, it initially had both my iPad and iPhone listed - because I have the Crashplan app on both to be able to get a file if needed. The main niggle with the business services is that they’ve dropped the computer-to-computer backup option.
