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.
Matt Henderson ‏@dafacto 31 Oct 2014

@mjtsai $149/year? Isn’t that like a 3x increase over what it was previously? Still, hard to be the service.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 31 Oct 2014

@mhenders Not 3x because I'm talking about the family plan.
Matt Henderson ‏@dafacto 31 Oct 2014

@mjtsai I’m on the family plan, but can’t remember what I paid. I thought it was $49.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 31 Oct 2014

@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.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 31 Oct 2014

@mhenders Arq doesn't do weekly reports, but it can e-mail on success/failure of an individual backup.
Matt Henderson ‏@dafacto 31 Oct 2014

@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.
