Every step of the way, This explains clearly what is happening and what will happen next. It consumes very little of your CPU as it backs up, leaving you to get on with more important things. The only complaint I’d make about CrashPlan is that it should have detected that my external hard drive was not big enough to backup my hard drive. It simply goes straight into the backup and only informed me that the disk is full only when it reached that stage.
CrashPlan is the best cloud backup for small business, using less bandwidth and disk space. In other words, backups complete faster! Here’s what changed: Data de-duplication is even more efficient at finding data matches in your files, which means fewer data to back up!

This software user interface is a clean design. The console is a popup with a window that has a link to Home, Downloads, and Settings. There are links to device preferences, and the ability to add backup sets. You can also see if your latest backup is complete, and when the last backup took place, as well as the number of files and the size of the backup.

CrashPlan Online Cloud backup Software For Mac FAQs
How does CrashPlan for Small Business Backup Work?
Backup begins with a process called data deduplication. The Code42 app analyzes a small piece of the file (a block), and checks to see if that block was previously backed up.
- If that block was already backed up, the Code42 app moves on and analyzes the next block.
- If the block has not yet been backed up, the Code42 app compresses the block to save storage space, encrypts the block to secure the data, and sends the block to the backup destination.
Why Does Crashplan For Small Business Report A Different Size Of Backup Than My Computer?
You compare the size of your files selected for backup to the file size the Code42 app reports it’s backing up, you may notice a difference. Multiple factors can contribute to this difference, such as our deduplication and compression processes.
