Backup

Continuous Backup

CrashPlan automatically notes changes to backup and then does so once per day. CrashPlan Pro immediately backs up those changes as you work, protecting your files without slowing you down.

Data Compression

Files are greatly compressed using advanced compression technology. Duplicate files and parts of files are automatically identified and stored only once.

Scheduling

Control when CrashPlan backs up, or when your friends are allowed to back up to you.

Multi-fork/stream

Back up everything about a file, not just its data.

Works Out of the Box

CrashPlan uses high technology to help computers connect with minimal configuration fuss.

Unlimited Versioning*

CrashPlan automatically backs up the latest version. With CrashPlan Pro, you can move backward in time, restoring alternate versions of files that have been changed many times.

Multiple Destinations

Back up to multiple destinations at no extra charge: on-site, off-site, and across the country! CrashPlan intelligently prioritizes backup to those destinations that are furthest along.

Unlimited File Size and Backup

Supports files larger than you'll ever need, plus there's no limit on how much you can back up.

Smart Prioritization

Files that are most recently changed get backed up before those that are older.

Exclude Files

Specify which folders and filenames you do not want backed up.

Restore

Move Back in Time

With CrashPlan Pro, you can restore previous versions exactly how they looked at a particular time of day. CrashPlan limits you to the last backup.

Quick Recovery

Easily recover accidentally deleted or saved over files.

On-site or over the Internet

Restore large amounts of data locally in just minutes! To restore 100GB of data over the Internet takes weeks for most people. With our local restore feature, you can have your data back in minutes!

Search

Where was that file? Use the built-in search feature to locate files to restore.

Guaranteed Restore™

Unlike hard drives, DVDs, CDs, and tapes, with CrashPlan you know your data can be restored. How? Each night CrashPlan verifies that all your backup data is still valid and can be restored. If CrashPlan discovers an error,it recovers automatically or notifies you if it cannot.

Any Machine, Any Destination

Are you on your laptop and wish you had a file from your desktop? Not a problem! Just restore it to your laptop.

Internet

Bandwidth Throttling

Easily limit how much bandwidth is used while you're at your computer and while you're away.

Remote Web Administration

Remotely manage your backup through our secure web interface.

E-mail Notification

When a machine hasn't been backed up, you can optionally be notified.

Security

Choose your Backup Destination

Back up your files to somewhere you know and trust. This way, you can get your data back in hours instead of weeks, and your data isn't mixed in with everyone else's, making it a prime target for identity theft.

Off-site

Only off-site backup secures your files against theft, fire, and other local disasters.

Encryption

Your files are encrypted and compressed before they are transmitted to another destination. Encryption protects your files (and privacy) by preventing others from knowing anything about your data.

Price

No Monthly Fees

Simply purchase a one-time license for each computer you want to back up and you're set.

Unlimited Backup

Unlike other services, the cost of CrashPlan doesn't increase if you have more to back up.
