I think this means it is also an end to CrashPlan's peer to peer free backup solution? I don't believe their business plan offers that.
Thank goodness I bought into their long service plan. I have 1.9 years to figure this out.
We have one Linux NAS and a bunch of Windows clients. I could go with Crashplan Business on the NAS and then punt on the Windows clients. Or go back to BackupPC for windows... I hope their windows client solution has improved -- I used to have to install a Cygwin rsync daemon.
It's worth pointing out that CrashPlan's business client app uses Electron (because the Java client app for home users wasn't bloated enough). That's reason enough for me to look elsewhere.
According to their website you continue using the same Java app: Do I need to install a new CrashPlan app?
No. The conversion process automatically updates the CrashPlan app on your computers. Instead of the green-themed CrashPlan for Home branding, you'll see the blue-themed CrashPlan for Small Business branding.
Hmm, they said end of service would be October 22nd 2018, so I'm wondering if they were only expecting one year plus sixty days, not 1.9 years plus sixty days... may need to check on your situation.
In any case, it sounds like the business version drops the peer to peer free solution.
