In october, when Crashplan shuts down, users will have to find a new solution.īackThing or BackupThing (I prefer BackupThing, but in github issue liked BackThing as a name more) should be functional to replace Crashplan. Since the users of Crashplan are already worried, they are seeking a solution.
#Expandrive vs duplicati Pc#
Sync to external drive, when plugged in: This is useful for onsite or offsite backup for single users (not everyone is gonna buy a cheap pc and drives and leave it running offsite). The files should be compressed and encrypted by chunks, since any changes or additions would need the whole thing (on most ways) to be recompressed and reencrypted.
#Expandrive vs duplicati password#
Password should be printed out or chosen by user, in case of failure or destruction of the pc what is being backed up, the files can be decrypted.Ĭompression: When backing up, it’s not important (sometimes it definitely not be), that the other side can access the files quickly, so saving space is a priority over accessibility. That brings us to SyncThing and it’s currently missing features:Įncryption: (since how it works, it goes along with compression): If not backing up to really trusted other side (offsite dedicated server, husband’s desktop), then it’s essential, that the other side doesn’t have access to your files.
SyncThing is the best variant, what has most built. SyncThing is chosen, because the open-source (if it closes down, can be made operable by individuals) and the freedom to donate instead of paying monthly (tough paying developers monthly would help loads for those who can afford it). The closest to that is P2P: Resilo & SyncThing. That will move us to making your own offsite machine or friend’s machine. I will also mention, that there are backup solutions, but they require monthly or yearly subscription for the service or for cloud storage. Last update: 2014, tutorial with WindowsXP screenshots. There is no response from the email on their site neither from their parent company Databarracks LTD, making the downtime and the future of the program more concerning, that it will in one moment just not work (also rendering all backups useless). Lately it’s central server has been down, without any notice. The only alternative (at least, what I could find) is BuddyBackupīuddyBackup would replace Crashplan completly, but it has the following problems: The major problem, why this topic exists is because of the fact, that Crashplan will crash in october.
