@mjtsai $149/year? Isn’t that like a 3x increase over what it was previously? Still, hard to be the service.
Time to renew CrashPlan. With the new family pricing, it now seems to be a lot more expensive than Arq/Glacier unless you have tons of data.

@mhenders Not 3x because I'm talking about the family plan. -
@mjtsai I’m on the family plan, but can’t remember what I paid. I thought it was $49. -
@mhenders When I first got the family plan in 2009 it was $100/year. Now $150. -
@mjtsai Saw the note about Arq as an alternative. For me, the weekly status report is critical. -
@mhenders Arq doesn't do weekly reports, but it can e-mail on success/failure of an individual backup. - View other replies

@mjtsai But it can’t let you know that, for whatever reason, a computer has stopped backing up. -
@mhenders Right. CrashPlan is a good service. Worth the money. My only point was that the storage costs vs. AWS have changed so much. - Show more

@mjtsai Arq + Glacier seemed attractive, but I lost my entire backup TWICE with that setup. I moved to Backblaze. - View other replies

@wklj All three have had their problems. Probably best not to pick just one.

@mjtsai And here I thought the current prices were good. What were the old prices? -
@klacoste Last time I renewed it was $10/month for a family plan. A few years ago I think it was even less. -
@mjtsai Yeah, that is a good deal. Especially without a long term commitment. You have to sign up for 4 years to get that price now.

@mjtsai We also did a multi year subscription — saves much. -
@mjtsai Also when I want my backup — I want it now, not 4-6 hrs thaw time from now.
