What is Code42 Crashplan?
- Code42 Crashplan is a backup solution that automatically takes a local backup of your profile on your computer(s) throughout the day as long as it is powered on and connected to the internet. This application allows for user-initiated data retrieval with ease of access from wherever it is required. Backup data is stored, encrypted and de-duplicated.

How does it work?
- Once Code42 Crashplan has been installed on your computer, you would log into the application and start an initial file scan of your machine. Once the initial scan is complete, a full backup will commence. Once the first backup has been taken, incremental backs will be taken every 15 minutes. Incremental backups consist of any file changes that have been made since the previous backup. This process allows consistent up to date file backup and recovery.
...
- Data can be recovered/accessed via the Code42 Crashplan application or through a Code42 Crashplan web console. Both methods can be used to backdate to a certain day/month a backup was taken to recover a file in the state that it was.
...
- After your initial backup, the Code42 Crashplan app only backs up changes you make to your files. It also runs in the background and most times you may not even know it's running.

- Data can be restored via the Crashplan Code42 application under “Retrieve Files”
