I'd still recommend it to others with the above mentioned caveats. **Just make sure you block the auto-upgrade scripts they use and you can stay on the good version.**

I have used this for many many years for backing up my parents personal and small business computers. It worked the first time on the older version. This is an overall great data backup solution. I ended up uninstalling this version and reverting to the old one. Every time I saved it, it would not show up. For example, I wasn't able to create a second backup destination to my external hard drive (which is a main feature in their marketing). Sure it may look 'cleaner', but for an IT pro, when is cleaner more important than functionality and ease of use? Each setting needs more clicks, and some settings are not intuitive to find. Version 4.9.0 was great.įlash forward to today, they have mandatory upgrades for the UI, and the newest versions (6.7.x) are neutered forms of the older UI. In addition, we get unlimited backup space, and just pay on a per machine basis. CrashPlan for Small Business makes backup easy Cloud based for rapid deployment 10 USD/endpoint/month No file size restrictions Automatic continuous backup. However, the versioning system and its ability to never delete a file from the backup, even if it's deleted locally, was a selling point. CP has a medium speed for backing up (although the first time will take a really long time, I mean days to weeks depending on your backup size).

We migrated from Carbonite, with its endless problems and slow speeds. CrashPlan for Small Business is a great concept, and much better than competing software.
