Guaranteed Restore Technology

Overview

All hardware-based backup media (hard drives, DVDs, CDs, or tapes) run the risk of degrading or corrupting, making the files stored on them unrecoverable.

CrashPlan Guaranteed Restore Technology addresses this risk by automatically verifying, and if there is an issue with the storage media, healing your backup archive. This ensures your files are ready to be restored when you need them.

CrashPlan runs regular integrity tests on your backup files to make sure that they are in good health. Should even a very small piece of a file fail an integrity test, CrashPlan detects the error and corrects the data.

Benefits

  • Ensures your backup files are always safe and secure.
  • Guarantees that the files you restore are in sound working order so that you can open and use them.
  • Provides comfort in knowing a file you backed up months ago is consistently verified to make sure it's ok.
