CrashPlan for Servers is a powerful and secure data backup solution designed for the cloud. Now you can back up all your Microsoft Windows Server data to the cloud easily and with complete data security. CrashPlan encrypts data, ensuring its safety both in transit and at rest.

Any Windows server, any file, any folder

  • Back up any Windows server
    Back up any file, print, web or edge server with confidence. CrashPlan provides fast, configurable and multi-threaded backups of all folders and files – including the registry, event logs and other components of the Windows system state.
  • Regulatory compliance and governance
    Regulations such as SOX, HIPAA, GDPR and others have requirements regarding data protection and retention that CrashPlan can help you fulfil. Our reports and audit trail help keep your organisation on a defensible platform when it comes to regulatory compliance.
  • Storage provider agnostic
    Choose from Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, IBM SoftLayer, Google Cloud Platform or even on-premises disk storage and avoid vendor lock-in. Do you have Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive? CrashPlan has a unique integration with these clouds to allow you to store backups. Or you can opt for CrashPlan’s fully managed and hosted model and free yourself from the burden of making these choices.
  • Data vault with air isolation
    CrashPlan’s data repository in the cloud creates a virtual air vault to isolate your valuable data from ransomware. Data is not only encrypted, it is also digitally shredded to prevent data exfiltration.

Customised implementation options

  • Secure Data Centres
    CrashPlan for Servers is hosted in our secure data centres with a global presence. Your company’s data remains protected, regardless of where your users are, while maintaining data residency requirements.
  • Hybrid deployment
    Run CrashPlan on your on-premises infrastructure and continue to use a cloud storage destination such as OneDrive or Google Drive.
  • Fully on-premises
    CrashPlan can run on your on-premises infrastructure and write to on-premises storage targets such as FC-SAN, NAS, iSCSI and even object storage.

Why CrashPlan for Servers?

  • Centralised management based on policies
    Easily select the folders and files you want to protect and those you want to exclude. Take control of how often you want backups to run and define data retention rules. Manage dozens or hundreds of servers with just a handful of policy settings.
  • Application support
    The CrashPlan server backup agent works with Windows Volume Shadow Services to ensure a consistent copy of the file system and all supported applications. In addition to built-in support for MS SQL Server, Outlook and various other applications, administrators can also include customised call scripts that CrashPlan will automatically execute during the backup process.
  • Delegated administration capabilities
    Assign administrator roles with limited permissions to selected users so that they can perform specific administrative operations on a selected set of servers. Delegate administration based on departments, remote offices, subsidiaries – in a variety of ways.
  • Incremental backups
    After an initial full backup of business server data, our algorithms help reduce storage and bandwidth utilisation by identifying changes to files and backing up only the new data.

Security is a priority

 

CrashPlan for Servers operates with a zero-knowledge privacy policy, so your data can only be accessed by you and nobody else – not the cloud provider, not a regulator, not a foreign government. Not even us. Your data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption during transit using TLS 1.2 with strong ciphers.

 

Privacy and Confidentiality
CrashPlan imposes a strict segregation of duties to ensure that data is only accessed by the right people. We completely obfuscate file and folder names and perform file shredding before writing backup data to cloud storage targets.

Zero Trust Security
Built on the principle of zero trust, our solution guarantees security through centralised identity management, secure single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication and the principle of least privilege. Easily integrate with Azure AD conditional access policies for enhanced security posture and role-based access.
