I have used Crashplans the consumer offering for a long time, and have been very happy with it. So when I heard about their Pro version is aimed at small to medium-sized enterprises (up to 200 workstations), I was naturally interested.
As with the consumer version works very CrashPlan Pro by installing a desktop client, which transfers your files to an online server for safe keeping in the cloud.
It is not exactly the same thing, but: while CrashPlan consumer version, you can back up to a friend, this option is disabled in Pro. It would obviously do not want your company's information is backed up on computers belonging to your friends, employees, even if it is encrypted.
By default, backing up The CrashPlan Pro client Windows ' current user folder (that is, C:\Users\USERNAME). There is no railroad user, but: every user can configure their own backup sources and choose which files and folders they would like to include in their backup.
As an administrator, would not probably appreciate you going to each user's workstation and configure their backup sources and the Setup program. Fortunately, you don't have to. CrashPlan Pro provides an elegant Web-based dashboard, a Mac-like aesthetic and easy configuration options.
This management console, you can drill down to each computer with a client and choose CrashPlan remotely control which folders to back up and how much network and CPU resources to use. Management Console is smart enough to let you browse the file system tree, click the computer that you configure, so you can easily explore your hard drive and choose what you want to back up just as if you were sitting at the computer itself.
If you want to do if users modify your carefully selected options, you can password protect CrashPlan client so they would have to know their own password (which you can specify) make changes using their desktop client.
CrashPlan Pro console not only configure your users and computers, but. When you finish the initial configuration, you can keep using the console to monitor your organization's health. You can see at a glance how many computers are online, what the total data size (how much data your organization has backed up overall), how many users are online and much more.
An interesting gimmick is geo-location. If you have roaming users on laptops, you can see their locations on a map CrashPlan Pro online dashboard. This is done according to the computer's current IP address, so it is far from accurate, but should at least give you an idea if a computer is still in the State or country it intends to be in.
The last thing I want to mention pricing: rather than having a "one size fits all" philosophy, CrashPlan Pro offers a variety of plans to fit anywhere from 3 to 200 computers. Users can choose whether to pay for each seat (and get unlimited data), or pay for each GB (and get unlimited sites).
