Overview

All users should set up and perform regular backups. Lost information, including administrative and research data, of any classification level results in lost time and effort recreating your work. You'll never regret setting up regular backups. You could deeply regret not doing it!

Moderate and high risk data should only be transmitted with encrypted solutions, such as IS&T's offerings (below) of CrashPlan/Code42. Please take note of the current Encryption Within TSM status.

CrashPlan/Code42 at MIT is currently not able to accept Export Controlled information (ITAR/EAR).

IS&T Provided Solutions

IS&T Backup Services provides desktop, laptop and server solutions.

Desktop/Laptop: Crashplan/Code42

CrashPlan and Code42 are the same application/service. Crashplan was renamed Code42 after it was sold, then renamed again back to CrashPlan after it was sold again. Which name you see in the product, filenames, or paths depends on what version you are using. For the purposes of this documentation, the names are used interchangeably and refer to the same product.

The new vendor website for Crashplan is: https://www.crashplan.com/

Server: TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager)
