Over these years through Code 42, the company behind CrashPlan, made a bunch of changes that made it unbearable to use.https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-i-stick-with-crashplan/Sun, 10 Sep 2017 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-i-stick-with-crashplan/In one of my previous posts I explained why I switched from S3 to Crashplan Home. Recently Crashplan announced that they will end Crashplan Home and only offer Crashplan for Small Businesses. A few people asked me what I am going to do.https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-i-switched-from-amazon-s3-to-crashplan/Sun, 27 Mar 2016 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-i-switched-from-amazon-s3-to-crashplan/I am in the middle of the moving my online backup system from Amazon S3 to Crashplan. In this post I will layout why this switch made sense for me and might make sense for you as well. I have about ~500GB worth of data (mostly pictures and some videos). So far I used Amazon S3 (more precisely Amazon Glacier) to backup my keeper shots (which is about 35GB worth of data). I store my pictures and my main Lightroom catalog on external hard drives in a raid configuration for added redundancy. In the long run I want to backup all my pictures online and not only the core of my work. The following sections compare both Amazon S3 and Crashplan by looking at different aspects and comparing both services with each other.
