CrashPlan Pro Brings Big Backup to Small Businesses (PC Magazine)

Code 42 Software, the creators of the award-winning CrashPlan backup software for home and enterprise users, has announced a cloud-based Pro backup service for small- and medium-sized businesses.

According to Code 42, CrashPlan Pro is specifically designed to address the unique backup needs of SMBs. The software works in the background, delivering automatic continuous backup. Backed-up data can be sent to the cloud or physical external drives. CrashPlan Pro also features a simplified, Web-based management dashboard that lets managers monitor all user backups, conduct real-time management, and control company-wide backup settings.

Code 42 Software offers two pricing plans based on two criteria: Unlimited storage per computer, or an unlimited number of computers for a chosen amount of storage. The former is billed at a rate of $7.49 per month; the latter has plans ranging from 50GB to 4TB, which equates to less than $5 per computer per month. A 30-day free trial is also available.

"We didn't want to simply rebrand our consumer product and call it 'business', nor did we strip down our enterprise product and rename it. Instead, we started with a blank slate and asked, 'What do businesses really need?'" said Matthew Dornquast, founder and CEO, Code 42 Software. "What every business needs is the security and reliability of an enterprise product combined with the ease of use of a consumer product. And of course they'd like to have support from people who really know backup, available via phone, email, and live chat. That's exactly what we're delivering today."

CrashPlan Pro protects all backed up data with 448-bit encryption before it leaves the computer, upping the security factor as the information is transmitted. Code 42 Software has given CrashPlan Pro cross-platform Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris (both client and server) compatibility. It also carries multiple destination support, de-duplication, and reporting features.

CrashPlan Pro is available immediately to customers in the United States and Canada. Code 42 Software will expand its offering to other countries in the fourth quarter.

There are at least 400 Australian businesses operating in Indonesia in fields ranging from mining to agriculture to education. They have invested over A$4.7 billion in Indonesia since 2009, the Australian Ambassador Greg Moriarty said yesterday.

“We plan to work with Indonesia and to support Indonesia to ensure we reach the best possible outcome for both countries. It will be absolutely crucial
to consult all sectors – and we particularly need to consult with the business community and those organisations that represent the business community,” said Moriarty at the Australia Day Business Luncheon and Investiture organized by the Indonesia Australia Business Council (IABC) in Jakarta.

The agreement to negotiate toward an Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) in November 2010 by President Yudhoyono and Prime Minister Gillard presented the perfect opportunity and vehicle to do more on enhancing the bilateral investment, economic and trade relationship.

At the luncheon, Moriarty also presented the insignia of honorary Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) to Moetaryanto Poerwoaminoto, Founder and Advisor of the IABC, for his service to the Australian business sector, particularly through the IABC.

Moetaryanto is a senior Indonesian businessman and has been a member of the IABC since he assisted with its formation in 1989. As a highly respected businessman, Mr Moetaryanto has promoted trade and business between Australia and Indonesia over the past 40 years and has assisted many Australian business people in understanding the business environment in Indonesia.

The IABC is one of the most dynamic and active business bodies in Indonesia, promoting bilateral business cooperation between Australia and Indonesia, and works closely with its Australian counterpart organisation, the Australia Indonesia Business Council (AIBC).
