What features would a backup replacement need to have to truly replace Crashplan for me? Features desired for the replacement service While looking around online, there are lots of cloud vendors offering backup plans or storage plans, but none that come close to what CrashPlan Home Family offered for 150$ per year.Įither they are way more expensive, or intended for a single home computer, don’t allow a NAS to backup, don’t automatically select video files or files larger then 4GB, only keep one version or have a max retention of 30 days, etc. This will be a multi-article guide on how to build your own multi-tenant Crashplan replacement for yourself or you and your friends and family.

Like many before it, CrashPlan is cancelling their Unlimited Family subscription, no more multi-PC cloud backup! So I started thinking, how hard would it be to “build” a self hosted replacement? But recently I received an e-mail that this is soon going to end.

Like many of you, I’ve been a long-time subscriber to CrashPlan Home Family.
