Dropbox Bug Can Permanently Lose Your Files

I use CrashPlan both on Mac and on Windows. On the Mac it works very well. On Windows it is okay, though it needs some hand holding -- sometimes the service gets stuck and needs to be restarted manually. Overall I find that it is better than Mozy (a competing service).

If the service tends to hang, you might need to assign it more than the 512MB RAM it defaults to.

The setting is controlled thru the CrashPlanService.ini file.

Seconded. I switched from Mozy and would not go back.
