CrashPlan for Business
What it is
CrashPlan for Business automatically backs up company data from employee endpoints, servers, and supported SaaS services, then supports recovery by file version, device, or timeframe. It is aimed at small and midsize businesses, including remote or hybrid teams and small IT groups. Coverage includes Microsoft 365 Exchange Online, SharePoint, and OneDrive, plus Google Workspace Gmail and Drive. Endpoint subscriptions include unlimited storage and versioning; Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace include 50 GB pooled per user, while servers include 250 GB per purchased server. Deleted endpoint files remain available for up to 90 days, with customizable retention for deleted SaaS and server files. Security listings include AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit, per-user keys, immutable backups, and optional two-factor authentication. A fully functional 14-day trial covers endpoint, server, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace backup, with a credit card required for signup.
