Ziet er naar uit dat Crashplan actie wil ondernemen om de grote verbruikers eruit te halen :
Dear Valued Customer,
We are resending this notification to ensure that you are aware of recent changes we made to our application. Should you have any questions, or need assistance, please contact our Support team.
The CrashPlan ® for Small Business Code42 app is intended to back up your business files (pictures, music, documents, etc.), not your operating system or applications. For this reason, we have always recommended you not include applications or other large files in your selection as they may not backup or restore correctly. In the past, we have allowed these files to be backed up despite this recommendation, however, in May 2019 we made some changes to our file exclusions and are now disallowing the backup of application directories, VM image files, and some backup file types.
You will likely see your file selection and backup archive size go down and benefit from faster restores, syncs, and backups. The new excludes are listed below and a full list of excludes can be found here.
New excludes for Application directories and new file types we are excluding:
Applications: /Users/<username>/Applications, /Applications/, /Program Files/, /Program Files (x86)/
VM image files: .hdd, .hds, .pvm, .pvs, .vdi, .vfd, .vhd, .vmc, .vmdk, .vmem, .vmsd, .vmsn, .vmss, .vmtm, .vmwarevm, .vmx, .vmxf, .vsv, .nvram, .vud, .xva
Backup files: .bck, .bkf
Other files: .tmp, .part, .rbf, .tib, .sparseimage
Thank you,
The CrashPlan for Small Business Team
Mijn Crashplan usage is tegenwoordig ook voor een groot deel backup files. Gelukkig hebben die nog andere extensies dan die in hun exclusion list. Maar het moge duidelijk zijn dat ze grootverbruik op zijn minst aan het ontmoedigen zijn. Ik zit daar ongetwijfeld bij met een backup set van meer dan 5TB.
