Swift backup with easy restorative functionality.

What are the best aspects of this product?

CrashPlan is very simple to do. The moment you get it installed, everything seems to work. It immediately backs up your user profile. If you're in need of capturing something else different in your PC or want to share something, simply hover to the "Add" button and click, then point it to a new location. If you want to do backups multiple times in a single day, simple go for the backup slider, and mae the necessary adjustments so a backup can be performed.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

My only complaint has something to do with the solution's aggressive approaching kicking off backups once it's installed. If I leave it running on the server, it would automatically start making an admin account backup. I'd have to put a stop to it and resort to pointing it to the directories I wanted it to back up. It's nothing bad. But it can be annoying when I have to keep doing that.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We're making use of CrashPlan to resolve issues dealing with limited local storage. We're also using it to migrate backups offise in case of a disaster. CrashPlan was a big help by pushing everything to its CrashPlan cloud. It gave us the ability to choose where local backups are being housed. This gave us the freedom to go for a storage that meets our targeted budget.
