Code42 Says Crashplan Backup Service Will Discontinue All Personal Backup Plans
Found on Slashdot on Tuesday, 22 August 2017
Code42, the company behind the popular Crashplan online backup service has announced that will be discontinuing all of its personal and family backup plan offerings to focus on business backup service plans only.
Crashplan personal and family services were one of the best (and most affordable) options available for online backup, providing features that other rivals do not, including backup options for cloud, external local drives, and to other friends/family member's drives (trusted offsite).
Just don't trust "the cloud", because there is no cloud. It is someone else's computer only, and they can decide to do whatever they want to. If you want reliable backups, do them yourself. USB storage is cheap, or let your NAS do it.
