You have to make sure to go back and check for any old data to manually clean up. You can't have Duplicati go back and delete orphaned data, because it thinks it has already been deleted. but the old data may not actually be deleted. When deleting old data it will give up on any error and just leave the data behind.ĭuplicati then updates its database to show the data has been deleted. Other issues that are now documented in this reddit forum I have 5 machines with little data on each, so paying per machine would cost me too much No good security (same password for your files and for logging in to your account, so it can be easily intercepted if they get hacked) There were some other issues, but I forgot details now. It seems that it doesn't have block-level file comparison (so it will upload the whole file even if just small part of it got changed) Unstable (keep finishing uploads before they are fully done, got stuck on 'searching for updated files' after I initiated backup verification, etc) Here is the list of backups I tried and reasons why I didn't like them: And their Small Business offering is too expensive for me, because I have 5 computers each with around 30GB or so data, so it doesn't make any sense for me to pay $10 per computer.

I'm so disappointed they are cancelling the Home service. I tried many other backup clients, but they are either too expensive, don't have Linux version, don't have strong encryption, or don't have NAS backup destination. Plus it is open source and free, so you only pay for the cloud storage (with BackBlaze B2 it's $0.005 a month per GB). It has all the features that I liked in CrashPlan: Linux and Windows support, Local, NAS and Cloud backups, strong encryption in client. and I think I'm going to settle on Duplicati with BackBlaze B2.

Crashplan vs dropbox
