CrashPlan Central Subscriptions
For the fastest way to start backing up, use CrashPlan Central as a backup destination. It’s a convenient backup solution if you don’t have a lot of data to back up or don’t have other resources you can use as a backup destination. Use the 30-day free trial period to get acquainted with CrashPlan while you arrange backup destinations among your friends and colleagues. Consider making CrashPlan Central part of your backup strategy if any of these apply to you:
- You don't have much to back up.
- You don't have another computer to use as an offsite backup destination.
- You don't want to ask anyone to be a backup destination for you.
- You want to use web restore (for which you’ll also need to purchase CrashPlan+).
- You like knowing that your files are securely archived offsite in our converted bank vault.
- You want to backstop your other backup destinations with a rock solid, convenient offsite, online solution.
Product Description
CrashPlan Central is a subscription service for which you pay a monthly fee to store your files in a secure location that we manage for you in our data center.
Additional Details
Because initial backup can take a lot of time to complete (depending on the size of your files), your files could be vulnerable during that time. With this challenge in mind, CrashPlan Central now offers (for an additional fee) the option to seed your backup to get your files in days rather than weeks.
If you lose all your files, it could take a similarly long time to restore them. To speed up the restore process, CrashPlan Central offers the option to ship your data to you, for an additional fee.
You can save yourself some bucks by purchasing a CrashPlan Central subscription one-year in advance.
