Notice: If you have the PC Load Letter Crashplan already running on your Synology using my previous guide “ How to install CrashPlan on Synology Diskstation” then you will need to Stop or Uninstall that package before beginning the Docker guide below. If not already installed go to: Package Center > Utilities > Docker and click Install. You are using a supported Synology NAS that can run Docker and already have the package installed.You have a Crashplan account with the desktop client already installed, if not click here to sign up now.One such software being Crashplan and below I’m going to show how I now have Crashplan running in Docker on my Synology DS1815+ NAS!īefore we start there are a few things I’m going to assume you’ve already done, if not do them now. Then last year in DSM 5.2, Synology added support for Docker which opened up the possibility to run all sorts of software in a virtual container running on your Synology NAS.

Want more information before you make your decision? Check out our detailed roundup of the best online/cloud backup services.I am a huge fan of CrashPlan and have been using it for years on my Synology NAS using this install guide I wrote up some time ago.Īdmittedly the process in the old guide wasn’t always roses. We recommend Backblaze if you only back up a single computer, or iDrive if you have more than one device. That will mean backing up your data from scratch, but you’ll be supporting a company focused on the needs of home office users, and you’ll save money in the process. We recommend that you switch to an alternative. But at $120/year per computer, that’s certainly more than you were paying, and more than the competition charge too. After all, you’re familiar with the software and are already set up.
If you’re happy with the quality and ease of use of CrashPlan’s home backup service, you might consider upgrading to a business account. However, it lacks the ease of use and continuous backup of some of the other competitors. It’s an all-in-one storage solution, offering file sharing and collaboration, notes, and tasks, and supports Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. OpenDrive Personal Unlimited costs $99/year for unlimited storage for a single user. Here are some alternatives worth considering.
But we feel that most home office users would be better served by an alternative. If $10 a month sounds affordable and you’re happy with the company, you’re free to do that. Should I Just Switch to a Business Account? That’s $120 a year multiplied by the number of computers you need to back up. So they decided to focus their efforts on enterprise and small business customers.Ī business plan costs a flat rate of $10 per month per computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux), and offers unlimited storage. The company felt that the online backup needs of home users and businesses were diverging, and they couldn’t do a good job of servicing both. It’s just the home users who are missing out. No, CrashPlan will continue servicing their corporate clients. Most likely, your plan ran out in the last few months, and if you haven’t already worked out what to do next, the time is now! Is CrashPlan Going Out of Business? Anyone with a subscription running out after the deadline was automatically switched to a business account until the end of their plan. The company honored all subscriptions until their end date and even gave an extra 60 days for users to find another cloud service. If you used the service, that won’t come as a surprise-they gave plenty of notice and reminders, starting more than a year in advance.
In late 2018, the free version of CrashPlan for Home was discontinued. CrashPlan Shut Down Its Consumer Backup Service
