    So here's the other fucked up thing about this situation which I just found out.

    Because all of the cable companies are sinking their teeth in right now, I have a limit of 1024GB per month of data usage on my home ISP.

    Uploading all of my data is going to put me over the limit for several months.

    So now I'm stuck paying overage fees, or I can choose to pay an extra $30/mo for an additional 500GB of data.

    So the true cost of this Crashplan thing is going to be like $100 plus half a day of my time.

    I'm pissed.

    • Hmm that does suckdbloc
    • can you just pause it until next month and backup locally on a hard drive for a month?dbloc

    • I guess you can't send a discGnash
    • I didn't see an option to send Backblase a HD. I think it only works the other way around (they will send you a recovery HD)nocomply
    • I checked my data usage with my ISP and did live chat with them. In short, I think paying for 1 month of unlimited data usage will cover me.nocomply
    • And I'd rather do that then remember to start/stop it and do it piecemeal over the next couple of months.nocomply
    • I have a home office, and yes, it basically just sucks for this situation.nocomply
