The other challenge with CrashPlan is that it's a memory hog, like most Java applications.

I've been using CrashPlan for years, and my only complaint is that their
Java interface isn't the most intuitive (plus the design is pretty
out-of-place on my Macs). I don't have to do much in that interface,
though; it's pretty set-it-and-forget-it.

I like that my files backed up to the cloud are accessible via their
mobile app, and I've been able to bring up important documents as
necessary in the past when I have a sudden need for the info.

And you can run your own crashplan server, or do peer2peer backups, eg
machine A backs up to B and vice versa.

    Second this. Crashplan "family plan" lets you back-up up to 10
    devices, fairly cheaply ($150/year). They're not picky on where
    the devices physically are (so, for instance, my family's Linode
    servers are also backing themselves up via Crashplan).

        We have a lot of people who have been happy with CrashPlan for
        years.  Our storage/backup/DR wizard swears by it for his
        personal backups and has been advocating using it for our
        corporate desktop backup.

            Matt,

            Try using FreefileSync (http://www.freefilesync.org/).  It
            is different, but with a few wrapper scripts I have found
            it a good replacement for BackupPC.  We are using it at
            work to backup 1500+ Mac workstations.

            cheers,

                I'm currently running BackupPC as a backup solution
                for my home
                network.  I like the functionality, but it is slow,
                probably because of
                the Perl compression libraries.  Any suggestion for a
                replacement with
                similar functionality?  I particularly like the web
                interface both for
                checking status and doing restores.
