Getting there.

Details of CrashPlan, a cloud storage backup system, appear here.

After 5 days of chugging away, CrashPlan now reports as follows:

So at this rate I expect all 170gB of my pictures/data will be in the cloud in ten days’ time. Thereafter the rate of adding new snaps will be much lower, of course. That’s still within the 30 day free trial which should give me time to test incremental uploads as pictures are added and also to test the Restore function. It’s not 143,000+ pictures, BTW. Most of that count is system files in my User directory which CP uploads by default.

If all is well I will likely sign up for 12 months for $50.

I will report back in Part III.
