Crashplan crashing code#
(Some people intensely dislike Code 42’s reliance on a Java-based client or find its configuration funky. While I had 10 months remaining in my family subscription, I immediately paid $145 for a two-year extension. (I also back up to local drives using CrashPlan, use Dropbox for key documents, and use SuperDuper to clone my office computer nightly.) I currently have more than 1.5 TB stored on CrashPlan, accumulated over several years, not including deleted files that are retained as well. The reason I paid says a lot about the current dynamic in the world of computer storage. This sale for existing subscribers took about half off the price of its unlimited storage family plan, which is usually $150 for one year or $290 for two. This is why I haven’t upgraded my aging-but-still-reasonably-functional mid-2011 MacBook Air, which has 4 GB of RAM and can’t be expanded to more, because I know a Retina version is coming if I only wait long enough, likely only costing slightly more than today’s Air.īut when I spotted an offer from Code 42, makers of CrashPlan, for a pre-Black Friday sale (now since expired), I leapt at it. So I’m cagey about getting locked into a price for anything when I know it will, nearly invariably, cost less and be better if I wait. (The big exception is bandwidth in America because of a severe market failure that preserves false scarcity.) In general, the price of food, shelter, and energy increase over time in absolute terms, while the price of things that contain electronics decrease in real terms. In nearly every way, the march of computing power, memory, hard disk storage, screen quality and the like is toward ever more, ever cheaper. It’s tricky to discount the future, except when it comes to technology.
