Once my data was uploaded (it took nearly a year), I was assured that my PhD research was safe. Outstanding performance over the 3 year period that I used it. I relied on Crashplan for document backup while completing my PhD abroad. icon "Every time I have looked into this with support, it has turned out that the correct amount WAS set for backup, but I believe the email went out mid backup, and therefore gave a misleading message.".I had to keep disputing charges with my bank until they cut off my account."
