About CrashPlan

CrashPlan used to be a popular consumer backup app; since leaving the home market it focuses on businesses, from small teams to enterprises. It backs up company laptops and desktops continuously to the cloud, keeps unlimited file versions, and lets IT teams restore files for users, migrate data to new devices and place backups under legal hold. Separate products cover servers and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace data. Pricing is per user or per server, billed annually or every two years, with a free trial. Endpoint plans include unlimited cloud storage, while server plans come with pooled storage. Agents run on Windows, macOS and Linux. It is a sound choice for small businesses that want hands-off laptop backup with admin oversight, but individuals are better served by consumer services, and there is no sync or sharing function.

Best for: Small and mid-sized businesses protecting employee laptops.
