Hey guys.
I just got this email:
The options are to either switch to CrashPlan business, or to switch to cryptonite.
I had been souring on CrashPlan over the last year anyway, so I'm not too upset about this, but now I have to figure out what's going to replace it.
Maybe I'll just build a second system with old drives and stay it under my desk at work, and tell it to sync my home base after business hours and on weekends?
What are you guys doing for off-site backups for home NAS these days?
I just got this email:
Hello,
Thank you for being a CrashPlan® for Home customer. We're honored that you’ve trusted us to protect your data.
We want you to know that we have shifted our business strategy to focus on the enterprise and small business segments. This means that over the next 14 months we will be exiting the consumer market and you must choose another option for data backup before your subscription expires. We are committed to providing you with an easy and efficient transition.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU
We will honor your existing CrashPlan for Home subscription, keeping your data safe, as always, until your current subscription expires.
To allow you time to transition to a new backup solution, we've extended your subscription (at no cost to you) by 60 days. Your new subscription expiration date is 03/09/2018.
YOUR CHOICES
Your first step is to consider the options below, available exclusively for CrashPlan for Home customers. Once you make your selection, no further action is required until your new expiration date. We will send you reminders well before your CrashPlan for Home subscription ends.
