CrashPlan is also the only service we tested that offers peer-to-peer backups, in which you back up your computer, for free, to another computer (your own or a friend’s) running CrashPlan-either instead of or in addition to backing up to the cloud. It allows you to customize your backups extensively, as well as to tailor CPU and network usage to favor faster backups (or to ensure good performance for other apps). It includes all of our must-have features, along with nearly all of our nice-to-have features-more of the latter than any competitor. Our pick: CrashPlanĬode42’s CrashPlan is our top pick due to its combination of flexibility, usability, affordability, performance, and security.
We then thoroughly tested the six services that remained, evaluating ease of use, backup reliability, performance, and optional-but-nice-to-have features. Finally, we settled on the following three must-have features: versioning (keeping previous versions of files and files you’ve deleted, just in case) support for both Mac and Windows computers and the option of a personal encryption key, so that only you-not the service-can access your data. We also limited the contenders to services that offer at least 1TB of storage for less than $10 per month. We specialize in making sure all user data is backed up by default so you dont need to worry about making sure you remembered to drag a file from your desktop into a designated folder. We narrowed the sizable field first by eliminating any services that don’t offer a ready-made, easy-to-use combination of backup app and cloud storage. Cloud Backup Services Backblaze is the leader in online backup with a reputation of being reliable and easy to use.
