But my experience was likely unusual.īased on other user reports of Crashplan, the upload and download speeds are quite good. Backing up 200gb of data took nearly half a year.

Each license allows the user to install Crash Plan on 4 devices. Once my data was uploaded (it took nearly a year), I was assured that my PhD research was safe. Having read through the entirety of CrashPlans T&Cs, I was unable to find any.

CrashPlan keeps stopping and starting In some cases a large file selection (>1TiB or 1 million files) can cause CrashPlan to crash.
