I recently moved my image library to a new set of drives (a thunderbolt RAID enclosure). So I chose Crashplan and stuck with it despite a rather clunky client that was a resource hog.
There’s no way to download the missing files in the remaining time before you hit the 30 day limit. Imagine you go on a three week trip and then come back home to find your drives gone due to theft. Alternative providers, like Backblaze, required you to connect your external drive every 30 days or the backups would be deleted. Most importantly, they did not have any requirement that I keep my drives connected. Crashplan was unlimited and they would backup files on my external drives (where I keep my image library). I don’t remember exactly how long it took me to upload everything but it was probably a month or two.Īt the time there was no competitive alternative. The upload wasn’t super speedy but it wasn’t terrible either. It seemed to work well and at the start I had a only few TB of data.
I signed up in 2015, initially on the home program for $5/month and then switched to the small business plan for $10/month. I have been a longtime user of Crashplan’s cloud backup service. Crashplan Throttling and Switching to Backblaze
