I have to see which works best for Apple anyway. I think Backblaze is best for that.

Uhhh remind me to check up on my Crashplan backup. (FACEPALM)

So I worked for Carbonite back in 2016 for almost a year.

About 2 weeks after training I found myself wondering what they'd do in the face of everyone and their mother offering "free storage" which while completely different than secure backup sounds like the same thing to the layperson. Towards the end of my year there most of my calls (yeah I was customer support on the consumer level) were from seniors who didn't know how it worked but were told they needed to have it. It was an interesting if frustrating job.

You can look on Glass Door for various stories or check the papers in Maine for how they billed themselves as creating jobs even after they outsourced the consumer biz to Jamaica. That I saw coming but didn't acknowledge out of fear of losing my job. Oh well. They still canned me a week before Christmas.

This sale doesn't surprise me nor does the idea that OpenText will gut then sell it. Sour grapes and all they had to know this was where they'd end up sooner or later.

Whatevs. I used Crashplan now.
