![]() ![]() It’s called bandwidth throttling and it saves them money in two ways: (1) they end up paying less for their monthly bandwidth (which adds up to a lot for a company offering backup services) and (2) they filter out heavy users like me, who tend to fill up a lot of their drives with unprofitable data. This is because they only offer a certain amount of bandwidth to each user. Their backup service works and it’s worked well for other members of my family. And that’s a problem with most backup services.įirst, let me say this: I didn’t write this post to trash CrashPlan. If I count all the stuff I want to back up, it’s about 12 TB. The size of my minimum backup set is about 9 TB. Most people back up about 1 TB of data or less. I’m not a typical customer for backup companies. I’ve been a paying Backblaze customer for less than a month and my initial backup is already complete. I’ve been a paying CrashPlan customer since 2012 and my initial backup still hasn’t finished.
