IDrive has three Personal plans that cover one user with unlimited computers and devices: a 5TB plan for $59.62 the first year (or $119.25 for two years), and $79.50 each year after a 10TB plan for $74.62 the first year (or $149.25 for two years) and $99.50 each year after as well as a 20TB plan that’s $149.62 for the first year (299.25 for two years) and $199.50 after that. A Team plan can cover from 5 to 100 users, with an equivalent number of devices and terabytes of storage prices range from $74.62 to $1499.62 for the first year. Im really happy with having a single service and single piece of backup software to handle both peer-to-peer and cloud backups. The company also provides additional storage for syncing all your devices and PCs, allows sharing of files with anyone, and has the ability to back up to a local drive.
And though it’s not the cheapest, it’s still affordable and comes with backup clients for nearly every PC and device. Lastly, Joe provides troubleshooting tips in case things go wrong, and offers advice for backup needs outside CrashPlan’s purview (like bootable duplicates).Just as when we originally reviewed all the major online backup services, iDrive remains the most comprehensive online backup service. (The book does not cover CrashPlan PROe, the enterprise version.)įor small businesses subscribing to CrashPlan PRO, Joe documents how to manage users and computers via the Web-based interface, and for anyone backing up to CrashPlan Central or CrashPlan PRO Cloud, he describes how to use the CrashPlan Mobile app (for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7) to access backed-up files.
The free CrashPlan and the subscription-focused CrashPlan+ and CrashPlan PRO-are discussed, with relevant differences called out. Crashplan was adopted by Viterbi IT to allow users to back up and restore data on a computer, whether the computer is on campus or off campus, as long as there. This ebook-created in collaboration with CrashPlan maker Code 42 Software-has all the behind-the-scenes details and real-world advice you need.īackup expert Joe Kissell helps you devise an effective backup strategy for CrashPlan’s unique capabilities, shows you how to back up to multiple destinations and restore files, explains less-common tasks (such as switching to a new computer and seeding a hard drive locally before moving it to a friend’s house for offsite backup), and walks you through fine-tuning CrashPlan’s settings to meet your needs. But thanks to CrashPlan’s power, flexibility, and cross-platform interface, you may need additional explanation to get the most out of CrashPlan’s best features.
You know not to put all your eggs in one basket, but are you backing up to only a single location? CrashPlan backs up your data silently in the background, storing it locally on a hard disk or another computer you own, offsite on a friend’s computer (for the consumer version), or in the cloud.
