CrashPlan: shared backup and recovery made easy

CrashPlan:

Features:

  • It’s automatic
  • No monthly fees
  • Backup to any computer, yours or your friends!
  • Offsite Security
  • Cross Platform (Mac, PC, Linux)

Now this seems like a really cool idea, and I’m going to try it out. But my first impressions are not so good. The desktop client is slow, and by slow I mean it is slow in geologic time.

Update 1

  • My god it is slow
    Please Wait
  • many connection failures
    Critical Failure, you betcha
  • scaling problems on the server backend or just bad design? what does this say about quality and safety of backups…
