Of course this friend/family member approach needs each of you to have a system that is always on and available, and you do not have low ISP data caps.
You of course could return the favor, by putting their off-site backup disk on one of your systems.ĬrashPlan encrypts the data before it leaves your Mac, so the remote backup cannot be read by the owner of the remote system. When it comes to backups, 3-2-1 is a sound backup planģ copies of your data (the original is the 1s copy)Ģ different backup utilities going to 2 different backup devices (protects against bugs in a given backup utility)ġ copy off-site (protects against theft and natural disasters)Įven with the CrashPlan free option you could get off-site backups, by getting a friend or family member to run CrashPlan and put your off-site backup disk on their system (their system could be Mac, Windows, or a Linux system as CrashPlan is cross platform).
#Crashplan keeps closing pro
I've had Time Machine trash the backup on the network attached backup device more than once because I had to pack up my Macbook Pro and head to work in the morning.
It works across the internet, so besides backing up the several family laptops, even when we are away on vacation, I also backup my Mom's iMac which is 300 miles away.įor laptops, I find it more reliable than Time Machine, as it seem to get less upset when you put your Mac to sleep by closing the lid, and leaving the house. I use the Free option to back to a Mac mini with an external Drobo RAID system with lots of storage. I use CrashPlan (without any problems) for lots of years now.
