In just a few days it has backed up everything on both devices, compared to CrashPlan which takes months for a similar amount of data (and has stalled for the past month with little help from customer service in getting it unstuck). Some have commented that cloud backup is slow, but iDrive offers an excellent solution with a free file sharing by shipping a USB drive back and forth with. Then I saw iDrive had a pretty cheap first-year deal and reasonable prices thereafter, so I gave it a try. At just 7.62 x 11.43 x 1.9cm and weighing in at just 247g, the Seagate Backup Plus is a portable hard drive that’s equally at home connected to a desktop or used on the move. I considered Amazon Glacier and Backblaze B2, but with 6TB+ both were considerably more expensive than CrashPlan even for cold storage. So I looked around for a service I could use for my Mac and my NAS.

They don't have an app that runs on the NAS for their Small Business accounts. Plus, I now have a NAS that I didn't when I started with them, and in order for me to keep it backed up, CrashPlan requires it be mounted, which I don't always want to do.

I've been a CrashPlan user for 10+ years, but I'm increasingly frustrated with very slow speeds.
