Nice mention of Crashplan. I’ve got 60GBs sent so far.Very happy. Feels good to have my photos and videos up there. Took 5 days for 50GBs of home videos. Rod you just tried to throw too much at once. should have staggered your backup, photos first, then movies, then music.
your poor bandwidth
If it stands up to this test I will have no issue telling friends to use it. My Mac Mini powers down between 10 PM and 6 AM I need to adjust that to gain and extra 8 hrs of backup time daily. So far I have backed up 57.6 GB (209,271 Files). I am impressed Comcast has not throttled my upload speeds and i have maintained a minimum of 1 Mbps connection to crashplan. My max upload speed has hit 10 Mbps.
What would be interesting is if ISP’s offered a service. Maybe high speed to the ISP crashplan server then they replicated to the backend.
Wow, 57GBs so far, that’s actually not too bad. Getting 10MBps up! wow. I am throttled by my local isp at 1mbps up which sucks.
It feels good knowing I have most of important data offsite. I get made fun of at work because I talk so much about backups, but people don’t laugh after they lose a harddrive.
