The only problem with the menubar app is the ugly, pulsating icon, so if you do download it, also look for a thread on the forum entitled "Mac menubar beta feedback and discussion," in which a user named Chris has posted two zip files with replacement icons the first zip file has gray icons, the second one green icons, respectively for the menubar app. Radarnav Sep 13 I'm looking for a good offsite backup, and I thought I'd found it in CrashPlan. I signed up for the 30 day trial, selected what I needed backed up and let 'er rip.
Twenty-nine days later, as it was just about to finish uploading my data yes, 29 days later there was a glitch in the process and it started over from scratch. I shelved it for a couple of weeks and decided to do a back up to a local external drive.
That works like a champ. The program also gives you the option to keep a backup on a friend's machine or vice versa, a friend can put an encrypted back up on your machine. Great feature. Cloud storage for huge amounts of data say, an iPhoto library just take way too long to get started. However, the features mentioned above are definitely worth looking into. Livslufsen Aug 5 For my purposes, CrashPlan is pretty much spot-on.
Me and my brother use it to back-up photos on each others computers. You set up CrashPlan once, and then forget it.
And it's free for that purpose. Haven't had any issues. Highly recommended for back-up on another computer. Rmay Apr 17 This review is to inform prospective purchasers, that you need to read all of the information on Crashplan's site. I thought all of the files in the directories I had checked were being backed up.
This is not the case. I needed a prior signed iPhone restore ipsw file, located in my user directory, that was tagged for backup. There could be a number of files that you may want and need, during a restore, that the folks at crashplan have excluded from your backup sets. On the website, you can look at a list of admin exclusions, not user changeable, if you understand, Java regular expressions, then you might be able to determine that a file isn't going to be backed up. I wonder how many other files, that I might need are not getting backed up.
My bad for not reading the fine print, I made an assumption, that a backup software would perform a back up. What was I thinking? If the backup set was complete, user defined, not crashplan defined, then this software would rate at five stars in my opinion.
As it stands, I would have to go thru all of the files on my machine, determine if I need it during a restore, then determine if crashplan is actually going to back it up. Not something, I am interested in performing. Maruko-Drinking-Team Mar 22 This software works. However, there are a couple things worth noting: 1. RogerKatz Feb 25 The current version, available at the developer's website, is 3. Catalystworkshop Feb 13 I've used this and Mozy for a few years each.
No comparison, this is way better software in nearly ever way. Fast, cpu efficient, reliable, powerful, and excellent in nearly every way. My only complaint is that that interface design is mediocre, and with some slightly aggravating workflows for certain tasks, mainly restoring. It's not terribly well organized or designed, far more PC-like than Mac-like.
That being said, I wouldn't even bother trying anything else. I am more than satisfied, and recommend it strongly. Snowlprd Feb 11 If you visit crashplan. After much research and Mozy's price hikes I've decided on CrashPlan as my new online backup solution. I originally was thinking Carbonite, then BackBlaze, then CrashPlan in that order, but after several day of reading reviews and comparing features I fairly quickly eliminated Carbonite throttling was a main issue and it was down to BackBlaze and CrashPlan.
BB looked very good, but ultimately what won me over were CrashPlan's unlimited backup of up to 10 computers n the family plan, and their seeding service. I really didn't want to spend months reuploading all of my Mozy data.
CP's seeding just made that painless. I'll come back and write a review in a month or two, but i am very confident that I made a good choice. Thanks CrashPlan! Thanks for not being a Mozy! I highly recommend CrashPlan. I've tried, Mozy and a few others but CrashPlan works the best for me.
I'm not sure why you guys are calling the UI on this program "clunky"? It has a nice layout and is easy to navigate. CrashPlan doesn't take up a lot of system resources or slow down your Mac while it backs up silently in the background. I'm glad I purchased this program. K, so that was quick Makes the app unusable. Also, not a lot of changes. Very reliable Wake up guys, you're on a MAC! Daouddee Nov 19 Unfortunately I wasn't able to get CrashPlan to work out.
Initially I was able to get the Mac to backup to Windows and did a couple of test restores. Everything looked good. About a week later when I had both machines up and running neither one could connect to the other. Windows machine couldn't see the Mac and the Mac couldn't find Windows. I looked on the website for trouble shooting tips. I finally disabled the firewall on both machines Operating system and third party.
Still no dice. The network is working and both computers are on the same network. I really wanted to like this program. It's pretty much just what I wanted to supplement my Dropbox acct. Now it looks like I will be going with just Dropbox as its one of the most solid programs I've had the pleasure to use in quite some time. If the developers have a solution I'm open to amend the review. There is potentially a lot to like about this program and service.
Madison-mac Sep 20 I purchased a year subscription to Crashplan and have no complaints no far, but then again I haven't needed to restore anything. I picked them because I liked the price, they had 'delta' backups that update only changed parts of a file.
I wish the weekly backup reports would report how much data was backed up since the previous weeks backup report. Maclouie Mar 23 I've been trying to use CrashPlan but with little success. Computers spend more time scanning files rather than backing up. The 30 day free trial is not enough time to backup my two laptops to their servers. According to the logs it says it is doing nothing because there is "nothing to do" yet none of my local or offsite backups are finished.
Must be operator error, right? Desker Feb 4 Okay, I am back with a review. CrashPlan is now working flawlessly for me after a few months and I am signed up with them. Once my problems were worked out some at my end, some at theirs the program has been a delight to use. One of the reasons for this is that it, unlike others, is basically simple and straightforward. When I add data to various drives it just uploads it quietly in the background.
I don't have to think about it or worry that it is doing its job because it is. Highly recommended, as they say on the camera review sites. Vandegewiet Feb 4 Note: This is about CrashPlan Pro the blue version. Running 4 CrashPlan Pro servers with 50 clients since about a month, backing up a few TB's locally and off-site. Clear licensing per client, you can set up as many servers as you like , excellent support, nice people.
This is truly great software for the SMB. Retrospect has finally been put to rest sighs of relief Orytek Nov 6 It may be free for personal use but that just means you can use the software to back up to local drives or a friends remote drive. The instructions assume that you have obtained an up-to-date installer from your IT support team. If not, skip to Step 3 — CrashPlan Setup below. Your installer is generic; you will need to manually enter the registration and server information.
