After several months of use and a catastropic failure on my NAS filesystem (therefore a CrashPlan restore), I’ve now decided to sell my offsite NAS backup and replace it with this.
Seriously, for the price, no other product get’s close to the value of Code 42’s CrashPlan. It’s application is also fantastic, (well almost – more about that below) and a really big deal to me is that it offers true private encryption so your social security numbers or IRD numbers aren’t plastered all over the web begging for identity theft. In particular it’s price, it’s unlimited backup and it’s promise to ‘Never Delete anything’ gives you an outstanding retention time-frame that no other product currently beats. Why I chose CrashPlan as my personal backup solutionĪfter some fairly extensive research, it’s benefits over other (as at December 2015) cloud backup solutions are quite substantial. This was not going to be a product I subscribed to for long if I couldn’t speed this up. On top of that, doing a few calculations, I found my actual restore speed was 4Mb/s. That speed is not bad in my country, however the CrashPlan application said at this rate it would be several weeks before my data was restored. In my case, the CrashPlan restore window on my Mac said it was running at between 15-20Mb/s. However, you may find that your restore speed does not perform as fast as you expected. To be fair, you absolutely can use the standard CrashPlan restore. To be clear, why shouldn’t I just use the standard CrashPlan restore? To learn a little more about how CrashPlan works.This article is an opinion article that will also show you a couple of tricks that should help you speed up your CrashPlan restore.Connect with other Code42 CrashPlan users and admins at #cop-crashplan Slack channel that’s shared across the Stanford Enterprise Slack Grid.Optimize bandwidth with the Code42 CrashPlan Bandwidth management methods and resources.Learn how to pause backups for a specified time.
You can set Code42 CrashPlan to behave differently when you’re actively working on your laptop versus when you’re idle.For more information, visit how to use Code42 CrashPlan with limited bandwidth. You can cap the amount of data throughput consumed by Code42 CrashPlan to provide greater capacity for other services.Learn how to change your backup schedule and how to disable your device's sleep settings. Check your operating system’s energy settings and consider leaving the system awake but with a dimmed screen while plugged in during the backup. However, Code42 CrashPlan won’t keep your computer awake if you system is configured to fall asleep after being idle. To reduce network disruption, you can tell Code42 CrashPlan to use your home network only during certain hours, such as overnight.If you already have a full backup, Code42 CrashPlan will back up only the changed bytes of any given file, plus newly created data.
If an initial backup is still pending, the default compression makes network usage more efficient.As a result, data backups will take longer to perform at home than on the campus network.īecause the default configuration allows Code42 CrashPlan to use all available network throughput to complete a backup, if you have substantial volumes of data to protect at home you might find your streaming services, Voice over IP (VoIP) calls or video conferencing sessions disrupted during backups. Most residential internet service providers offer much faster download speeds than upload speeds. Our licensing agreement allows home computers with personal data, plus work computers with Stanford data, to be protected.Īs we in the Bay Area continue to shelter in place, many people have brought their office computers home to continue working. Protecting Stanford data is a requirement for endpoint compliance the central Code42 CrashPlan offering is the recommended solution.
