It would take you 42 *hours* to upload 1 Gb at that rate. To put it in perspective, on an uncontended 24Mbps ADSL line, with showing 18Mbps down, and 1.6Mbps up, I've managed to upload approximately 385Mb in 16 hours. Obviously they just don't have the capacity to support the users that are buying the service. Things seem to start to go wrong with them offering reduced cost/near free offerings toward the end of last year. Price plan was attractive, upload speeds had been pretty good, and was generally a good service. Their offering started out quite well after capturing a number of users from Mozy. So if you use Crashplan and it does not work with Windows, it's your responsibility to fix Windows, so it works with Crashplan, not the other way around(!) They suggest that I seek third-party help ("address it through other means (researching the issue further, performing a refresh of your OS, contacting an IT support professional, etc)."). In plain English, they say that there are problems with Windows, despite the fact that I had the error both on Windows 7 and Windows 10, and on two different, completely clean Windows 10 installations. To make a long story short, Crashplan says it's a problem with my "environment", specifically a Windows DLL. Suddenly, Crashplan crashes at about 250 GB of backup set. Crashplan expects you to make Windows work with their software, not the other way aroundĬrashplan had been working impeccably for several years, when Code42 (which makes the program) apparently makes changes to the code.
