#DUPLICACY RENAME BACKUP SOFTWARE#
Not only do I want protection against the software product being dropped, but in some cases this is my only record of my license key.
You could argue* that for C:\Applications but they silently deleted backups of my network share H:\Applications which has various software that I've purchased, along with documentation and license keys. "Applications that store data in the application directory should be taken out and shot with extreme prejudice." Tl dr: Code42 deleted some of my backups without warning. Sure, it costs us an average of like $500 a year, but worth it to have 30 TBs of storage all to ourselves and no worries over whether we're being spied on, the service is just going to fall over in a way that is out of our hands, or suddenly find out that the company is deleting a bunch of files without warning. We've been doing this for like 8 years now, every so often we'll go in together to buy new machines, UPSes and routers.
We also have the fact that we both have the same reason to trust in the other and stand to lose the same amount for breaking the trust. To keep things secure, we have IPMI turned on so we can remote into our system and enter the passphrase to decrypt the drive (that way, just because we are in physical possession of the machine, we can't decrypt any data on it). The systems run off a pair of 8 GB thumb drives running FreeNAS with ZFS on them for encryption and reliability. Right now we both have a small ITX-based machine with 4x 10 TB HDDs in them. Then we just rsync our machines to directories on those servers. So now we just buy identical servers, and use ssh tunnels (via a pair of OpenWRT-based routers to connect our sites, and another ssh tunnel on the machines) to make them accessible to the other person. I made a deal with a coworker who works in an office on the other side of the ocean. I earnestly hope this was a mis-step which they soon correct, and that it doesn't indicate a new direction for what has been a really top-notch company that provides a trustworthy product. It's basically everything that I do not expect from Code42. This change seems poorly considered, badly executed, and involves a gross failure to communicate. Even if they were to shut down the service, all my experiences with them give me confidence that I could, at the very least, order a drive with all my data before the door closes. When they dropped the consumer product, they offered a generous introductory rate - and data migration - to customers who carried over to their Business product. When I've had a problem, they've not only solved my problem, but sometimes even comped a little paid time as a goodwill gesture (when it wasn't their fault).
In that time, they've had many changes, but they've announced them with enough time for customers to plan and possibly migrate their backup methods. I recommend them because they are "safe" not for the price or flashy features. I've recommended it to colleagues and to several clients. I've used CrashPlan for about 10 years as a paying customer, though I hosted data for several friends until they removed that option. If you have good FTP software that might be all you need, and backup for free.

And if you have loads of data and want more cold storage the monthly costs and retrieval fees are cheaper than other cloud services.Įven if you don’t want or need BackBlaze the availability of 10GB of free public/private online storage is worthwhile. Backups are normally kept for rolling 30 days, so if you want to protect old versions of files you can put them into cold storage and it doesn’t cost you a penny. BackBlaze online backup is just £5 per month.

zip and put it somewhere else on your disk.

If you really want to back up that data you can always archive them to. They don’t back up all files either, however they are a bit more sensible about it and just exclude system and application directories. Then they started getting sniffy about what I could and couldn't back up and put up prices. I used Crashplan for years and was very happy with the policy of unlimited data without filters.
