It's the "small business" tier which they migrated some of their users to, after shutting down the "consumer" version of Crashplan.
I'm pretty sure they ran the numbers and figured that a small number of jokers backing up images of live VMs were using up an enormous amount of disk space. That's likely thousands of dollars of cost for a couple of dollars in revenue per month. I can see how they need to get rid of these people.
Having said that, not notifying their customers beforehand is beyond negligent.

Just thought I'd check and apparently it has silently been failing to backup for nearly two days. Also, I can't access the restore function at the moment.
