Perhaps they reverted their decision, but they did indeed discontinue their Crashplan service for non-businesses[1].
I was using it at the time and had to find an alternative, which I never really did. I tried restic and similar programs, but they were all too slow finding what changed. The key to Crashplan was that it monitored the filesystem for changes, so it didn't have to do an expensive traversal.
In the end I settled for just using the daily full-image backups I was already taking and forego the <15min backup points I had with Crashplan.
Been missing it a few times, but overall surviving without.
As the article notes, they just ended the "CrashPlan for Home" plan and decided not to do B2C marketing, but they remain happy to take money from individuals. At the time I just migrated to "CrashPlan for Business" and paid them $10/mo (because I have a NAS), but thanks to your note I'll be moving to CrashPlay Pro (which is cheaper on a yearly basis).
I wished they'd emailed me back and told me. Now if I want to switch back I need to run two solutions concurrently until the Crashplan is fully populated again.
What a stunning way to reduce customers. Their Biz Dev people must be so proud.
How do you mean? CrashPlan Essential (200GB) is $3/mo. CrashPlan Professional (unlimited) is $88/year.
