WTF. This sucks, my main use case for Crashplan is downloading files that I long ago deleted (or left on an old machine), or downloading stuff from old external hard drives (which Backblaze also doesn't support). I might just suck it up and pay the small business price.
- ghostly_s 9y agoSounds like you're not using their backup service as a backup service, then, and perhaps part of the reason why they've discontinued it.
- tomduncalf 9y agoTo my mind, keeping copies of old, deleted files is an important part of a backup. Just to be clear, I wasn't using crashplan as a kind of media file store or anything - their restore experience was far too clunky for me to bother with that! I'm more concerned about old files I've accidentally or deliberately deleted that I later turn out to need. Anyway, my storage requirements are pretty low (probably 1tb) so I'm going to look into solutions like B2 with Arq (along with my existing Time Machine). Just frustrating to have to go through all this!
