The processes of uninstalling the client software and deregistering the account can occur in either order. Uninstalling the IBM client software and deregistering the old machine account frees up valuable licence capacity in the IBM-based service for the future.The Code42 CrashPlan product offers a better backup service than the old IBM-based client, as detailed on the benefits of the Code42 CrashPlan Cloud Backup Service page.They may well both fail due to competing for limited resources on your machine, or compete for access to the same file(s) at the same time. It is inefficient and poor practice to have two competing products backing up the same system.Leaving unused programs and apps on your computer is a security risk as they typically are not updated.Lastly, Joe provides troubleshooting tips in case things go wrong, and offers advice for backup needs outside CrashPlan’s purview (like bootable duplicates).Once you have Code42 CrashPlan successfully backing up all the data you wish to protect on any one machine for several days, you can now uninstall the old Spectrum Protect client software and deregister the machine from the legacy HFS desktop backup service. (The book does not cover CrashPlan PROe, the enterprise version.)įor small businesses subscribing to CrashPlan PRO, Joe documents how to manage users and computers via the Web-based interface, and for anyone backing up to CrashPlan Central or CrashPlan PRO Cloud, he describes how to use the CrashPlan Mobile app (for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7) to access backed-up files. The free CrashPlan and the subscription-focused CrashPlan+ and CrashPlan PRO-are discussed, with relevant differences called out.
This ebook-created in collaboration with CrashPlan maker Code 42 Software-has all the behind-the-scenes details and real-world advice you need.īackup expert Joe Kissell helps you devise an effective backup strategy for CrashPlan’s unique capabilities, shows you how to back up to multiple destinations and restore files, explains less-common tasks (such as switching to a new computer and seeding a hard drive locally before moving it to a friend’s house for offsite backup), and walks you through fine-tuning CrashPlan’s settings to meet your needs. But thanks to CrashPlan’s power, flexibility, and cross-platform interface, you may need additional explanation to get the most out of CrashPlan’s best features. You know not to put all your eggs in one basket, but are you backing up to only a single location? CrashPlan backs up your data silently in the background, storing it locally on a hard disk or another computer you own, offsite on a friend’s computer (for the consumer version), or in the cloud.
