CrashPlan

Comment by anonimoose about CrashPlan Nov 2011

I was using the older version of CrashPlan for a few months and I REALLY enjoy it's wide array of options. CrashPlan allows you to backup to a local folder/drive, a trusted computer over WAN, or their own cloud service. However, the company launched their CrashPlan+ service which auto-upgraded my version and now MANY of the free features are locked as a paid service. You can no longer specify the backup time and frequency as it is automatically determined by CrashPlan. This means you can no longer guarantee a time that your files will back up. My CrashPlan+ now insists that it wants to backup at 2AM and if the PC isn't on at that time it waits until the next 2AM. ha!

Too bad they locked the free features. I'll be moving on to something else.
