help Code42 CrashPlan FAQ
What does Code42 CrashPlan protect?
CrashPlan is designed for endpoint file backup, especially user-created files on computers. Its policy-based backup can retain files after deletion or device loss, subject to the organization’s retention settings.
Does CrashPlan back up files continuously?
CrashPlan is designed to monitor selected endpoint files and back up changes automatically rather than relying only on a nightly job. The exact delay depends on the client, file size, network, and policy configuration.
Can CrashPlan recover files after ransomware?
It can provide recovery copies when the backup history remains available and has not been encrypted or deleted by the attacker. Administrators should test restoring an earlier file version instead of treating the presence of a backup job as proof of ransomware recovery.
Is Code42 CrashPlan a full server disaster-recovery platform?
CrashPlan is focused on endpoint data protection and file recovery, not instant failover of an entire production server cluster. Organizations needing application failover usually pair endpoint backup with a separate server or disaster-recovery system.
