![]() (3) I've heard CP restores are slow.never restored enough to really find out. I once waited 9 days to do a single file restore because my archive was in "deep maintenance mode".that was a very long ticket with support before they admitted how it works. ![]() During this time, adds to the archive or restores are impossible. If you have a large archive, yours does, too - CP won't tell you. (2) More critically, my CP archive goes offline for 3-5 days every 28 days. The thing crashes all the time (I have a cron job to watch and restart it) and every time it updates, it nukes all my custom settings which means it'll fail constantly until I go back and edit them. My file server has 20GB of RAM - 16GB of that is purely for CP's ridiculous Java client. (1) The client is a horrible poorly engineered pig. But overall I haven't been entirely happy with CP: There's CP Business which at $10/mo isn't bad for unlimited storage. I may just have to tell my family that Windows machines are considered expendable.save your work to the file server.īacking up my Linux box is the main concern as thats what I need disaster protection for. (2) The Linux file server itself has various shares which is what I backup to Crashplan.Ĭrashplan was nice because you could do computer-to-computer backups without having to pay them, but alas that's going away.įor (1) I'm not sure there is a good solution. Right now, windows boxes backup to a central file server via Crashplan (so local protection but not disaster protection). Macs backup to a central Synology TimeMachine but there's still Windows to consider. ![]() (1) At home my family has various laptops and desktops. ![]() With Crashplan's recent finger to the consumer market, I'm looking for a replacement.
