For those with a CrashPlan...
skwire:
I just stayed with Crashplan on one PC (my server).
As before, each PC in my house still does image backups nightly to the server (using Veeam). I wrote some quick scripts to dump certain folders on each PC to the appropriate family member's user folder on the server (which Crashplan then backs up to its cloud). Plus, my previous Crashplan subscription goes until April and then I get the next year at 75% off ($2.50/month). After that, the one server will cost me $10/month ($120/year) which is $30 less than I was paying for the old family plan. Not quite as convenient, sure, but it'll do just fine. And, yes, that $10/month is for unlimited storage space.

Well, we're getting close to expiration, I think. Are you going to expire this fall? Or were you somehow grandfathered in?
What is everyone using these days? The terms and conditions and trust of the different services has me in analysis paralysis mode.

Apologies. I should have clarified that I switched to the new CrashPlan for Small Business program. Basically, it's the same as CrashPlan Home used to be but you have to pay per computer now. The old Home plan used to be $150/year for up to ten computers and the new Small Business plan is $120/year for one computer. The storage is still unlimited, though. Does that help to clear things up?

Yes, definitely! Thanks for taking the time to do so! That might be something that I look into!
