I had all of my movies, shows, music, family photos and videos, and documents stored on the WHS, which was backed up to Carbonite. At the time, I was running Carbonite on my Windows Home Server box, which I was using a media NAS solution.
I used to be an ardent Carbonite subscriber for many years, but they burned me. And OMV has better options for extensibility. These are cheap to replace too.Also, FreeNAS is published under a BSD license and not the GPL. With a single NAS with multiple drive bays, sure you can have a hard drive die, but if the unit itself dies, you're screwed. Why get just a dumb 2.5" USB hard drive enclosure, when for a few extra bucks you can make it a smarter NAS device? Think about this though: each hard drive has it's own NAS CPU and computational power, so you get additional hardware redundancy over just one multi-bay single unit. From what I can see, their own comparison of their software compared to OpenMediaVault has woefully-outdated information.OpenMediaVault supports RSync via the GUI, so you can sync multiple NAS devices together, which makes it a good option for stacking multiples of these together. Other systems are better at working with multiple filesystems. In reply to karlinhigh:It only supports ZFS AFAIK. In any event, a moment of silence, please. Code42 offers a CrashPlan for Small Business service, and it will migrate your existing subscription if you’d like to stay with the firm. That said, those with small businesses may want to stick with CrashPlan. Don’t be put off by the pricing: These plans are unlimited and cover an unlimited number of computers. But Carbonite does offer office plans too, which start at $269.99 per year.
That said, you can’t actually use a consumer Carbonite plan to back up a home server if you’re still using such a thing. And while the initial upload was glacially slow, the service itself was unlimited, so it was pretty ideal. “Subscriptions include free, award-winning customer support, 7 days a week.” Carbonite pricing starts at $59.99 per year per computer.ĬrashPlan and I go way back: I used the service to back up various Windows Home Server- and Windows Server Essentials-based servers in the mid-2000s and recommended it to readers. “Carbonite offers simple, secure cloud backup for computers,” Code42 explains. That’s a good amount of time for existing customers to find a new home for their data, but Code42 is recommending that they at least consider Carbonite, one of the leading cloud backup vendors for consumers. “CrashPlan for Home will no longer be available for use starting October 23, 2018.” “Effective August 22, 2017, Code42 will no longer offer new-or renew-CrashPlan for Home subscriptions, and we will begin to sunset the product over several months,” the company revealed on its website.
And it is directing customers to switch to Carbonite instead. Code42 is shutting down CrashPlan for Home, its consumer cloud backup service.
