Amateurs. Crashplan without a crashplan, or just shitty infrastructure.
Fire someone.
Thanks for sharing some reality!
/me mentally scratches crashplan from existence
Personally it's hard to want to replicate my personal data with an
external entity in most ways or forms. I played with spideroak (decent
linux client), but don't use them for anything really. I don't
replicate data that isn't within my admin control or across a vpn. Not
to mention wanting to pay for off-site replication of tb's worth of data
"securely" with guise. Most will answer a subpoena in 2 seconds with a
disk image of your all your data on it, and that is not cool. Sadly
it's simply a matter of paying someone enough to get it, and there are
far richer than myself seeking fun and profit.
Dealing with enterprise network, storage, or whatever for a bit - shit
happens. Replicate your data, trust nothing but yourself.
Almost why one might keep a small ebay'd data center around, just in
case. Two, if you got em.

Since we are talking about cloud backup solutions. I just had an
interesting experience with Crashplan that I will share.
Crashplan offers a seed service, where you can request an external
hard drive be sent to you, you put all of your data on it, and mail it
back. It can be faster than waiting to upload everything.
Additionally, if you need to recover, then can send you the hard drive
with your data on it for fast recovery.
So, I received an email from Crashplan that my data was on a corrupted
disk volume. They are working to recover it, but until then, they are
backing up all of my data to another disk. In addition, they offered
this seed service for free since their volume died. I have additional
backups so I am not concerned regarding data loss or slow uploads, but
its cool to have a slick method of seeding your data.
Thanks,
Eric
