MacVoices #17182: The MacJury Examines the Reaction to CrashPlan's Change in Service
The web has been buzzing about the news that CrashPlan is bowing out of the consumer market with their online backup service, opting to focus on the enterprise market. Should online backup services still be part of our backup strategies? Should there be different considerations for backups vs. archives? Can we get our trust level back? The panel of Joe Kissell, Mark Fuccio, Frederick Van Johnson, and host Chuck Joiner examine why there has been such an outcry over the decision, what CrashPlan did wrong and right with both the announcement and the transition, and offer their thoughts on replacement services.
