CrashPlan is a desktop/laptop backup product so Windows Server versions are not supported. Note that Windows 8.1 support ends in January 2023 so we wouldn't recommend using Code42 CrashPlan on Windows 8.1 unless you expect to move to Windows 10 or 11 by then. This means if you are more than a couple of years out of date in updates neither Windows nor CrashPlan will be supported though Code42 CrashPlan may well continue to work. Windows 11, 10 and 8.1 are supported while the operating systems are supported by Microsoft. If you are considering upgrading your operating system we suggest you check here whether it is yet supported.ĬrashPlan publish an official list of supported operating systems which may be more up to date or detailed than the information below so do consult it. You should also note that new operating system releases are unlikely to be supported immediately, though they often are within only a month or so.
In practice CrashPlan will continue to work, at least for a while, on older operating systems when they fall out of support although you may not get upgraded to the latest version of the software, and will work on many more distributions of Linux. Note however that there is a difference between fully supported and whether it works. System requirementsĬrashPlan is fully supported by the vendor on reasonably recent versions of Windows, macOS, Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For the moment both CrashPlan and Code42 are in use with Code42 being more prominent on the software. However CrashPlan is now a separate company and the name is returning to CrashPlan. While originally known as CrashPlan it was later rebranded as Code42. Note that CrashPlan is a product developed by the company Code42. The CrashPlan Cloud backup service is best suited to backing up single-user machines, or machines where a single user can take ownership of the backups (the HFS Spectrum Protect Backup Service may offer an alternative solution, subject to its own qualifying criteria).
It is a GUI-based backup product to the Cloud that replaces the existing Spectrum Protect backup solution with many benefits including frequent automated backups in the background, unlimited storage and multiple file versioning allowing point-in-time restores. CrashPlan has been selected by the University as the recommended tool for securing backups of university data on personal, single-user computers like your desktop and laptop at work and at home.
