To make a long story short, Crashplan says it's a problem with my "environment", specifically a Windows DLL. Suddenly, Crashplan crashes at about 250 GB of backup set. With these data transfer speeds I certainly wouldn't want to recommend it for file recovery - Heavens forbid if you actually had a data disaster on premises and had to recover a measly 120gb, it'd take you about six months! Sorry CrashPlan, I really wanted to like the product, but it needs some work.Ĭrashplan expects you to make Windows work with their software, not the other way aroundĬrashplan had been working impeccably for several years, when Code42 (which makes the program) apparently makes changes to the code. Not suitable for Virtual Machine backups, not suitable for business use really in my opinion. Not suitable if a) you have many files that need uploading or b) you have more than say, 50GB that you want to protect. For perspective Acronis, LiveDrive and DataShield all managed to scan the drive and start an upload within 10 minutes. It hasn't even finished scanning the directory yet it's at 19.3 GB scanned and hasn't uploaded a single byte. I started the trial about 2 hours ago and pointed it to a directory with about 1 million files in, 126 GB total. Although to be fair the website doesn't give any promises on exactly "how long" it will take to process and upload your data, nor the type or size of the data they're claining can be backed up "unlimited". Sadly this product doesn't live up to the claims on the website.
