Details at a glanceĥ TB (upgradable to 10 TB for $100 per year)ġ TB (can add more at a rate of $0.00599 per GB per month)ģ0 days for free, $2 per month for one year, or $2 per month plus $0.005 per GB per month forever And if you just need as much space as possible, go with IDrive. If you want to nerd out over every detail of your backups, go with Arq Premium. If you just want software that works and does everything for you, stick to Backblaze. Although Arq appears to be a smaller company than Backblaze or IDrive, support was just as quick to respond to our questions its documentation, however, isn’t as thorough, searchable, or readable without a glossary. But Arq Premium doesn’t support continuous backups, instead relying on scheduled backups, so there’s always a chance it won’t be perfectly up to date. Its restoration process is far less cumbersome than Backblaze’s and speedier than IDrive’s, too. During setup, Arq Premium encourages (but doesn’t require) you to use a private encryption key for a secure backup. The Arq Premium software gives you a lot of control over how your backup works, including options to choose how long to keep files around, to select any external drives, and more. Arq Premium supports up to five computers, and if you need more than the included 1 TB of storage, it’s an additional $0.00599 per gigabyte each month (which amounts to about $6 per terabyte each month, making it more expensive than Backblaze and IDrive for data hoarders). Code42 CrashPlan (formerly CrashPlan PROe) might run out of memory and crash when de-duplicating and backing up large file systems greater than 1TB or one million files.If you like to configure software to meet your specific needs, Arq Premium, available for Windows and Mac, offers far more customization options than Backblaze or IDrive and costs less than both for 1 TB of storage.
You can experiment raising maximum amount of of RAM that CrashPlan can use to prevent incomplete backups. Step 1: Launch the Code42 CrashPlan application. Windows 7Īt the start menu, go to the Search box and begin typing “crash…" The system will bring up the shortcut to the CrashPlan PROe application. Navigate the Finder to the Applications folder and double-click the CrashPlan icon. Step 2: Launch the command line interpreter.ĭouble click the building icon on the top right-hand side (authentication is not necessary.)Ī command line interpreter window appears. In this example, we're allowing CrashPlan to use a maximum of 1.5 GB (1536 MB) of RAM.
Type the following command and press ENTER.ĬrashPlan won't use all this memory all the time.
This is the ceiling of how much it can use when performing certain tasks. For most users, the default 1024 MB ceiling strikes the right balance. For exceptionally large amounts of data, experiment with different values based on how much physical RAM your computer has or how many applications you run simultaneously.
