Amanda is a comprehensive, open source backup and sync application designed to help businesses, organizations, and individuals protect their data. It is highly configurable and can be used to securely store and share files between computers, servers, and cloud storage providers. Amanda can be used to back up entire systems or specific files and directories, while allowing users to select which files they would like to sync. It also provides incremental backups, allowing users to save storage space and bandwidth when backing up large files, as only the differences in files are sent between backups. Amanda also features strong encryption, allowing users to protect their data from unauthorized access. Additionally, Amanda can be used to set up automated, scheduled backups, providing users with continuous data protection.
Discontinued Current subscribers were informed last year that CrashPlan Home will be discontinued in October 2018. The service has recommended users sign up for another home service such as Carbonite, or for CrashPlan's much more expensive business plan.
