Version: CrashPlan 01.06.2009
"Peer to peer backup done right"
Pros: The best feature of Crashplan is that it allows me to backup my data to my backup disk or my friends' computer (encrypted of course), so that in case of a fire or theft, my backup is still available. And best of all: this feature is free!
Cons: It's not possible yet to define multiple backup 'sets'. I'd like to backup my music and video's to a secondary harddisk, while my family pictures and work related documents should be backed up both to my harddisk and my friends harddisk.
Summary: Installation is easy, the user interface is as clear as daylight, while it offers a huge amount of features, and it doesn't cost a dime. The paid license only adds a central server to backup to, for those unfortunates that don't have friends, or at least no friends with broadband connections. But I don't need that, so I only need the free license. There are some ads visible, but only when using the interface. The Crashplan service normally runs invisible in the background, so that doesn't annoy me.
