Overview
To ensure the security, quality, and reliability of CrashPlan products, we schedule two types of regular maintenance:
- System maintenance to manage CrashPlan cloud infrastructure
- Release maintenance to introduce new features, enhancements, and fixes to CrashPlan products
CrashPlan makes every effort to perform maintenance during the times listed below. However, CrashPlan reserves the right to perform maintenance outside of these times in order to maintain the performance, reliability, security, and stability of the CrashPlan cloud. For notifications about upcoming maintenance scheduled outside of the times listed below, see Announcements.
System maintenance
System maintenance is dedicated to the infrastructure of the CrashPlan cloud. Updates to CrashPlan cloud hardware, networking, and operating system patches are examples of system maintenance.
- System maintenance with potential to cause service interruption greater than 15 minutes is scheduled for Tuesdays from 9:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. US Central Time (CT), when necessary. Times are based on the local time for our headquarters in Minneapolis. While some users may experience limited functionality for a short period, users are generally not impacted for the entire maintenance window. Many users do not notice any impact at all.
