But thanks to CrashPlan’s power, flexibility, and cross-platform interface, you may need additional explanation to get the most out of CrashPlan’s best features. You know not to put all your eggs in one basket, but are you backing up to only a single location? CrashPlan backs up your data silently in the background, storing it locally on a hard disk or another computer you own, offsite on a friend’s computer (for the consumer version), or in the cloud.
One database management GUI software we looked at if you want to avoid BAT files is: dbForge Studio.Note: This book has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. On balance, I don't worry about open databases but you are using them at your own risk Creates encrypted ZIP files and uploads them to a server of your choice including Amazon. Duplicati: Free software but does not run as a service so some idiot could switch off the backup software and you are doomed. No local backups are possible unless you image the entire logical drive.ģ. Once you tell them about the private encryption key they tell you that they cannot help with recovery at all. You have the option of a private encryption key so it is good from a HIPAA perspective. Carbonite: They tell you up front not to backup open databases but offer no solution either. Local backups are possible and encouraged.Ģ. So if anything does not work they'll point you to their documentation which is far from transparent for an amateur. Crashplan deals with huge companies and do not have the infrastructure to troubleshoot your network or PC. In recent iterations they may have fixed these issues but the support is variable so you always feel that you are on your own. It does not mix well with PCs that have two NICs (ethernet controllers) and sometimes needs an open port on your router to be able to connect to Crashplan's servers. Crashplan Pro: Excellent if it works but this is not always the case. The one exception is XDR which makes a daily automated dump of its database. So on this one thing you are on your own.
At the same time everyone involved will tell you you are backing up open databases at your own risk. Basically with one exception no one involved wants to deal with the open databases issue. Our experience has been mixed as I had previously posted.
