They are in beta and still adding features but it is a great solution for basic backup. I have invited 3 friends and we are all happy with the results.

* The company is still relatively new and I am afraid the company is more interested in CashPlan
* A lot of the features I’d want are still on the To Do list!
* The price is per year not release, which shows the product is still new

It seems to me that I will end up paying another 60$ at the end of the year, just for the software (no hard-drive, no online backup storage)!
If I have to spend 60$, then I might as well spend less (50$) for Carbonite or Mozy and get top notch software and unlimited remote backup.

I think the software should be ridiculosy cheap and they should get the money from other things like selling harddrives or their online storage…
As far as I’m concerned, I’ll keep ftping a backup of my files to my webhost…

Make sure it encrypts your data, and gives you the space you need. Also the restore function needs to be easy and instant. Does you no good to store data on a free or inexpensive site if you cannot restore instantly. I have looked at many and http://www.disksave.com seems to cover the bases at a reasonable price. There are others like the response up top that mentioned datadepsitbox, I’m sure they are ok too although I would have to do more research. Just wanted to cast my vote and give some more insite. Thanks for the blog.

So while they both offer off-site backup, CrashPlan is significantly different in it’s approach.

Off-site is the way to go for disaster recovery.

Great tips, keep up the good work!
