Backup beyond basics.

You can’t predict what might go wrong, so you need a backup solution that covers all your bases. CrashPlan offers a more comprehensive backup feature set for a lower price than Carbonite. The choice is easy!

Covers All Your Files

Backup should protect all your data right out of the box. CrashPlan starts by protecting all user-generated files, and then lets you tell us what you don’t want to back up. There are no limits on file types and no preferential treatment for specific content. If it’s on the system and it’s important to you, we’ve got it covered.

Platform Parity

CrashPlan works the same on all three major desktop platforms (macOS, Windows, and Linux). There is no need to have different training, deployment, or a whole different app for each operating system. Freely leverage whatever system works best for your workloads without any additional overhead or risk.

Seamless Scalability

CrashPlan is trusted by individuals and organizations with hundreds of thousands of devices. That means that as your needs grow, CrashPlan will grow with you. With powerful administrative controls, agent-deployment tooling, and identity management integration, the sky’s the limit.

Safe from Snafus

Steve, happy CrashPlan user at work and home

“I’ve been using CrashPlan at work for a few years and using Carbonite at home. I recently had a file snafu and had to recover…files that were accidentally deleted. I tried to recover them from home with Carbonite and it couldn’t be done…. My last hope was to recover them with CrashPlan from my work computer. It was easy. I deleted Carbonite from my home computer and switched over to CrashPlan the next day.”

“The benefit I find in using CrashPlan is ease at which I can backup and restore, especially the restore part. I can train anybody at my business to do that. It’s easy and so affordable. Throw in the added encryption – how can I go wrong?”
