Fwiw, I've been a crashplan family user for years, here's my future plan for family backups:
- Use a freenas at home
- Make everyone in the family back up to it instead of crashplan. (No idea what app to use here yet but assume there's a dozen of em)
- Anything that isn't already acting as an offsite backup via the freenas server (I.e. My own stuff, and server only files), upload to backblaze b2.
I'm overall okay with the announcement. Was already planning to switch away since crashplan wasn't offering the great deals they had years ago (crashplan family was ~7.50/month with 4 year plan in 2014)
I look forward to no longer futzing with Bhyve/Linux just to use crashplan from my server too.
I don't look forward to spending more time figuring this stuff out more though.
