(I might be able to exclude files down to 4.9TB, convert, and then add the excluded files back.
You are, of course, free to re-upload your data, but with their slow upload speeds, it would take a few weeks again.
If you do have more than 5TB backed up, they will immediately delete your entire backup when you convert. The conversion is only seamless if you don't have more than 5TB backed up with them. I'll likely do this as the conversion seems pretty seamless. If I'm reading correctly, I can renew for another year for $30, which is even cheaper than the home plan and will put me into March 2019 before I need to find another plan. However for 12 months you receive 75% off. Additionally, you can convert you license to their Small Business plan, which is quite expensive ($10/month per machine). I was going to expire in January 2018, now March. They are extending existing licenses an extra 60 days, which is nice. I'm sure there will be additional consolidation in the coming years (and its just a matter of time before the first data breech). I hate paying extra monthly fees - I realize crashplan wasn't that expensive - but now you do need to replace it. At worse - I will lose a few months of digital photos and a few months of bank/investment statements - the latter of which can easily be re downloaded.
CARBONITE COST CRASH PLAN ENDING MANUAL
My off-site manual step isn't that cumbersome - I usually do it right after I complete my taxes.
I don't like any backup that includes manual steps, including taking media to offsite, as the crash is always just before you finally get around to those manual steps. Much easier/quicker to restore from local drive, but if house burns down that isn't all that helpful.
CARBONITE COST CRASH PLAN ENDING ARCHIVE
I use it for a local archive (hard drive) and also a cloud drive, it does both for me as of now. Call me old fashioned - but I feel best when my backups are in my hands.įor off-site backup I have a portable drive that I rotate into a safety deposit box ever 6 months or so.
