Overview
CrashPlan is an endpoint and server backup service for businesses. It began as a product of Code42 and now describes itself as an independent company[8]; its separation from Code42 Software was announced in August 2022, in a release headlined as an acquisition by Mill Point Capital[9]. CrashPlan today sells Small Business plans for organisations under 250 employees and Enterprise plans above that threshold[7]. The Small Business endpoint plan covers Windows, macOS and Linux with unlimited cloud storage and unlimited versions, and lets users restore and migrate devices without an IT ticket[7]. Separate plans cover Windows and Linux servers with 250 GB of pooled storage per server, and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace with 50 GB per user[7]. The Enterprise tier allows customers to store backups with CrashPlan, Azure, AWS, Wasabi, Backblaze or their own S3-compatible storage, and adds single sign-on, delegated administration, immutable copies, legal hold and audit logging[7]. CrashPlan is also marketing a transition plan to Code42 Endpoint Backup customers, whose product it says shuts down at the end of 2026[8].
