I like this a little better because living in North Idaho I don’t have a good upload speed so in several cases I’ve been in situations where my remote backups from the NAS would never complete because I don’t have enough bandwidth to keep up. I had been using a strategy where all local and cloud devices backed up to a NAS on my network, and then those backups were relayed to a remote (formerly CrashPlan) backup service. This also gave me a good opportunity to review my backup strategy. I either want to provide my own hardware or pay by the GB. I’m tired of “unlimited” backup providers like CrashPlan not being able to handle unlimited and going out of business or altering the deal. Protect against my backup threat model (below).Efficient with bandwidth, time, and price.I don’t want to check on the status periodically. Between the demands from all aspects of life I already have trouble doing the thousands of things I should already be doing and I don’t need another thing to remember. I am not going to remember to do something like take a backup on a regular basis. To start with I noted my requirements for a backup solution: Pray I don’t alter it any further.ĬrashPlan used to be the best offering for backups by far, but those days are gone. Deleting files with no advanced notice is something I might expect from a totalitarian leader, but it isn’t acceptable for a backup service. So long, CrashPlan! After using it for 5 years, CrashPlan with less than a day notice decided to delete many of my files I had backed up.
