Frequently Asked Questions

What is CrashPlan endpoint backup for enterprises?

CrashPlan endpoint backup is an enterprise backup and recovery solution for business data stored on Windows, Windows-on-ARM, macOS, and Linux devices. It automates incremental backups, applies administrator-defined policies, and supports employee or administrator recovery through centralized management.

Who is CrashPlan endpoint backup designed for?

CrashPlan is designed for enterprise and institutional IT organizations managing distributed or mixed operating-system environments. It gives administrators centralized control over endpoint protection, storage, policy, visibility, and recovery.

Where can CrashPlan store endpoint backup data?

CrashPlan-managed storage can be hosted in Microsoft Azure or CrashPlan proprietary data centers. Organizations can also use supported customer-managed storage in Azure, AWS, Wasabi, Backblaze, or another compatible S3 destination.

Can an organization use its own cloud or object storage?

Yes. CrashPlan supports customer-managed storage in Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Wasabi, Backblaze, and other supported S3-compatible storage environments.

How often does CrashPlan back up endpoint data?

CrashPlan performs automatic, incremental backups according to intervals defined by the administrator. Organizations can customize backup frequency to fit their protection requirements and endpoint environment.

Can backup intervals, retention, and file-version policies be customized?

Yes. Administrators can configure backup intervals, file selection, versioning, version aging, retention, user quotas, and optional CPU or network-bandwidth throttling.

Does OneDrive replace the need for endpoint backup?

No. OneDrive and other collaboration platforms help employees sync, share, and access files, but they do not create an independent, policy-controlled backup of all business data stored across employee endpoints. Sync can also propagate unwanted changes, including encrypted, corrupted, or deleted files.

Can employees restore their own files?

Yes. CrashPlan supports employee self-service recovery. Employees can restore selected files without waiting for IT to complete the request.

Can administrators control employee restore access?

Yes. Administrators determine whether employees can use self-service recovery and can keep restores under administrator control when required.

Which endpoint operating systems does CrashPlan support?

CrashPlan Platform endpoint backup supports Windows, Windows on ARM, macOS, and Linux.

Does CrashPlan support Windows on ARM and Microsoft Surface devices?

Yes. CrashPlan supports Windows-on-ARM endpoints, including compatible Microsoft Surface devices and other supported ARM-based Windows hardware.

Is CrashPlan the same company or product as Code42?

No. CrashPlan is an independent company. CrashPlan maintains an enterprise backup and recovery platform that protects endpoints, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Windows and Linux servers. CrashPlan is distinct from Code42.

Is this the same CrashPlan offering available at smb.crashplan.com?

CrashPlan Platform endpoint backup is licensed per user. Each licensed user includes 50 GB of pooled managed storage, with additional capacity and customer-managed storage options available.
