United States
What it is
CrashPlan Endpoint Backup automates file backup and recovery for businesses managing employee devices across Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web. Incremental backups run continuously or on administrator-configured intervals, while employees can restore selected files or administrators can control restores. File stubbing can expose selected files before a complete restore finishes. Managed storage is available in Azure or CrashPlan data centers; customer-managed destinations include Azure, AWS, Wasabi, Backblaze, and S3-compatible storage. Administrators can set file selection, versioning, retention, quotas, schedules, and optional CPU or network throttling. Microsoft Entra ID integration supports SSO and provisioning, alongside role-based access, delegated administration, reports, and alerts. Security specifications include AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2 or later in transit, customer-controlled keys, and immutable copies. Governance includes audit trails, policy retention, defensible deletion, and legal hold. The offering is licensed per user with 50 GB pooled managed storage per licensed user.
