How CrashPlan PRO Works
CrashPlan PRO is cross-platform, client / server backup software that runs on your hardware.
With the CrashPlan PRO software installed, you can back up any computer to any number of backup servers in any location.
Hosted Online Backup
Your CrashPlan PRO software can also backup to our hosted online backup services. This is an affordable option for your offsite, mission critical backup and requires zero setup on your behalf.
Laptop Protection For Your Mobile Workforce
CrashPlan PRO works over any network connection, including the Internet. As long as your CrashPlan PRO Server is Internet-accessible, your laptops are backed up regardless of location.
Full communication and data transfer encryption provides secure protection in the office as well as on the road.
Coffee shops, airports and hotels - any place with an Internet connection is now a protected location for your workforce.
Bullet-Proof Backup, Guaranteed Restore
CrashPlan PRO protects and restores your data with best-of-breed, enterprise ready backup technology.
Bullet-Proof Backup:
- Enterprise grade encryption secures your data the moment it is read from disk
- Data de-duplication and compression greatly reduces storage requirements
- Byte pattern differentials reduce CPU, disk and network utilization
- CrashPlan PRO™ Server VMware image adds virtualization support
Guaranteed Restore:
- Automatic integrity checks ensure backup data is always correct and ready when you need it
- Archive self-healing corrects any data integrity issues automatically
- Unlimited historical versioning restores any file from any point in time
- Unlimited files and file sizes let you back up everything
Continuous, Real-Time Backup
In addition to scheduled backup, CrashPlan PRO provides continuous, real-time backup protection.
CrashPlan PRO™ detects data changes then waits for the changes to stabilize. Once the changes stabilize, it only transmits newly created data. If data is merely re-organized, no sending of data is required!
This byte pattern differential approach conserves considerable bandwidth and reduces load on users' computers when compared to traditional backup differentials.
