Settings can be easily accessed, and once everything is configured, you won't need to open the software until you experience data loss or another issue that requires restoring files or folders. Not much is offered beyond the most important functions, and that's okay. Taken together, Crashplan's concept of simplicity is well-executed.

The service relies on its simplicity and ease of use, consciously refraining from offering full system, local, server, or online service backups, or the ability to create images. Cloud backup is not always practical for protecting large amounts (terabytes) of data due to the cost of cloud storage and the rate at which you can upload. If, on the other hand, you're pining for a service that you can configure and integrate into your existing IT infrastructure, Crashplan is probably not your best bet. Anyone looking for no-frills cloud backups and uninterested in server or mobile backups is likely to be pleased with Crashplan's purist approach. In addition to the service's web dashboard and desktop software, there's also an account dashboard that provides information about your user account, payment methods, and subscription settings.
