Have you tried downloading any significant portion of your backup from CrashPlan? Is so, how was performance?

Have you tried downloading any significant portion of your backup from CrashPlan? Is so, how was performance?
- AdmiralAsshat 10y agoNot a significant portion, no. CrashPlan is only my third layer of backup, the offsite backup. Each of my drives have a clone backup drive (typically just a WD My Passport that makes them easy to transport when I travel), and then a larger external that holds backups of all of them--I usually keep that one in storage and only plug it in once a month or so to sync. CP is the third layer of backup. The most I do in a typical week is use the Android app to grab a few movies or documents from the CP storage to get it onto my phone and tablet. I should probably "test" doing a recovery from CrashPlan at some point, but I fear that even getting a third of it (1TB) would probably trip some sort of overcharge from my ISP.
- jrnichols 10y agoI have. It was decent. accidentally hosed a vmware image and it was easier for me to just pull the whole thing down from Crashplan. Speeds were decent, limited mostly by my cable modem. I don't recall the exact throughput but I remember looking and saying "Hey, this isn't bad" and not being annoyed by anything. Plus the price isn't too bad.
