CrashPlan is out of the home backup business and I'm going to dissect that decision and what to do if you are a CrashPlan customer. There is a lot to discuss with this move and if you are a CP customer you have many paths in which you can take with your data. I will discuss those in depth on this episode. Not one of these plans is right for everyone. Keep that in mind when you listen.

Read the first link below first. If you are a CP subscriber, start there. You have time.
