Outstanding performance over the 3 year period that I used it. Once my data was uploaded (it took nearly a year), I was assured that my PhD research was safe.
I stopped using it because the internet in China was simply too restricted and curtailed to make it useful.
Pros
It runs continuously in the background to ensure that the files selected are backed up.
The Crashplan client automatically backs up to ensure that customers are using the very latest client and are not in danger of security leaks.
The Crashplan client is cross-platform and will run on Linux and Mac
Cons
Code42 appears to have removed their plan for standard household users and now only has plans for small and large businesses. Unfortunate for the average household computer user.
When I used Crashplan for backup in Beijing, China, the upload speeds were horrendously slow. I assume this was not the fault of Crashplan, but the result of serious Internet throttling by the internet provider or by state security apparatus in China where all connections to the outside world are severely curtailed. Backing up 200gb of data took nearly half a year. But my experience was likely unusual.
Based on other user reports of Crashplan, the upload and download speeds are quite good.

I used Crashplan for several years and found it to be an excellent reliable product. I no longer used it because the home user option was withdrawn and the small business pricing was prohibitive for a home user. If the option is ever reinstated I would not hesitate in returning to use the product.
Pros
Flexibility, reliability, ease of use, configuration options. Unlimited storage, file modification history. Local backup and peer to peer options.
Cons
Withdrawal of home user option, which I understand given the economics of providing unlimited storage.

Solid Backup Software for Orgs of A Certain Size
Reviewed on 11/9/2022
Pros
Crashplan was easy to setup and provided great customer service for a fair price.
Cons
Many of the features of Crashplan were aimed at enterprise clients, and the management portal was somewhat overwhelming for the needs of our small organization.

It was good.
You have options to take the entire backup or you can choose the folder as per your need.
The restoration is also very convenient to do.
Pros
The most impactful feature is backup and restore.
We use this product to take backup of our entire data on the PC.
The entire backup process goes easy and ofcourse because its automated.
Cons
There is no such feature that I find is missing from my perspective.
It gives all the possible and feasible options which are required from a user's point of view.
