I highly recommend using an archive password - just make sure you don’t lose your password, or you won’t be able to access your backups!Ĭhoosing which folders and files to backup is simple, you can select your whole home folder or just specific folders that you want to backup. Having an archive password that is different from your account password means that when you back up to CrashPlan’s servers, there’s no chance for anyone to be able to snoop around in your data.
Data is automatically encrypted before upload with your account password, or you can choose a separate custom archive password for backups. After the initial backup, CrashPlan makes incremental backups, meaning that changes to your files are backed up quickly.ĬrashPlan provides excellent security for your backups. I backup my main desktop and my Ubuntu file server (with over 1 TB of data) to the Cloud42 cloud. The interface is easy to understand, and I haven’t had any problems or crashes while running CrashPlan on Ubuntu. In fact, Crashplan has saved me from disaster on multiple occasions! Over the years, I’ve looked into many backup systems for Linux, but always end up sticking with CrashPlan because it works so well, and has features I can’t find anywhere else (like continuous backups, easy restores, and unlimited backup storage).
I’ve used CrashPlan for more than eight years with excellent results. Unlike other popular online backup solutions, CrashPlan supports Linux as a first-class operating system. CrashPlanĬrashPlan by Code42 is a backup service similar to Moxy or Carbonite but with some extra features that make it especially interesting. That's a pretty sweet deal! Don't worry though I won't recommend anything that I don't use and love myself and always try to give my honest opinion about the products and services that I review. Some of the companies that I love and recommend to my friends and readers have affiliate programs that allow me to earn a commission when you click on one of my recommendations and make a purchase or sign up for a service, and at no extra cost to you.
