CrashPlan is a great backup software for Mac, Windows and Linux clients. You can backup for free to another computer (local or remote) or external hard drive. Or you can backup to the cloud.

The king of backup strategies

Backup is the difference between keeping everything intact and losing it all in one fell swoop. Personally, we’re fans of the former over the latter.

We’ve got three different ways to provide you with reliable backup, so your files are always there for you. You have the option to back up to local drives & computers, offsite drives & computers or online to CrashPlan Central.

Combine all three for the ultimate trifecta of protection, speed and access. It’s like a backup buffet that’s open 24/7, offering the benefit of never showing up on your hips.

Why Local?

It’s free as the breeze
Honestly, that’s reason enough for most people. And it’s not like a swap meet. We’re serious when we say it’s free.

You already own the tools
Got another computer or hard drive? That’s really all it takes. You’re in the backup business. With us, that is.

A fraction of the time
Because you’re not using an Internet connection to transfer data, backup is quick, freeing you up to do other stuff.

Why Offsite?

No hard drive required
Because you’re divvying up the backup with family members or friends, you’re literally not out anything cost-wise.

It’s free as the breeze
Like our local option, this one’s gratis. Because we think peace of mind shouldn’t depend on the size of your wallet.

Any data size is possible
Got more files than your “backup buddy” has? Back up straight to their external hard drive instead.

Why Online?

You’re new to backup
This is the best way to jump in feet first. We’ll always be there, standing below with one of those safety nets.

No sticker shock
Our backup plans are easy on your wallet. And what you get out of it is priceless.

24/7 support from us
Just email us. Or use that smartphone as an actual phone to give us a ring.

It’s money well spent
This is customizable, continuous, minute-by-minute backup. Totally worth it when you value your data.

It’s free as the breeze
Mobile app accessibility, browser-based file restores and enhanced 448-bit encryption. We told you it was techy.
