They may not be marketing towards consumers anymore, but they will happily sell a $10/mo single PC license like before. I've been using them at home for sometime.

Yeah, that's okay, but I have a lot of small family devices that need backup, but not a lot of backups. I don't want to pay $10/mo to backup my mom's desktop and the 15GB of data in her user profile. Crashplan had a family plan that handled that use case.

I ended up switching to iDrive, which has a 5TB limit, but which also allows for unlimited clients within that 5TB.

Yeah but if you have a family that gets out of hand fast.
