Smarter, Faster Backup and Restore
CrashPlan is smart. It reduces file size by using advanced compression technology. It identifies duplicate files and parts of files and stores them only once. When files change, only the new information is backed up.
But that's just half of the story.
Once your files are backed up, CrashPlan continuously checks that your files are 100% healthy and ready to restore when you need them. If it finds any problems, CrashPlan fixes them.
Always Secure
CrashPlan uses industrial grade private key encryption to secure your files before they're backed up. The only person who can decrypt your files is you.
If you need even stronger encryption, check out CrashPlan+.

CrashPlan+ offers continuous, real-time backup, stronger 448-bit encryption and web restore from CrashPlan Central. It also provides the following benefits over CrashPlan:
