Will crashplan offsite backup work if crashplan goes out of business?
I really like the idea of using crashplan for it's offsite backup to another computer. However, seeing as how these types of services come and go seemingly daily or change plan pricing like Mozy did recently, will crashplan continue to work if they for instance go out of business?
Solution 1:
You won't be able to do backups to remote PCs anymore - the two PCs hook up via the CrashPlan servers.
I'm guessing that you can probably back up to local drives.
Solution 2:
Restore functions without our infrastructure - provided you have access to backup set. (I.e. local backup, or another computer) So no risk there.
Another thing that's nice to know is we've been in business (and profitable!) since 2001.
