For more information, please contact HITS. This document and the ITS Service Center do not cover the use of this service. Important! The University of Michigan Medical Health Information Technology & Services (HITS) also uses CrashPlan for a service called Data Guard. View CrashPlan resources for non-MiWorkspace customers. Eligible MiWorkspace customers automatically have a Desktop Backup account provisioned for them, but still need to download and install the CrashPlan client from Software Center and configure their backup settings.Settings can be easily accessed, and once everything is configured, you won't need to open the software until you experience data loss or another issue that requires restoring files or folders.This document provides first-time-setup instructions for MiWorkspace customers to install and set up CrashPlan on a MiWorkspace computer. Not much is offered beyond the most important functions, and that's okay. Taken together, Crashplan's concept of simplicity is well-executed. The service relies on its simplicity and ease of use, consciously refraining from offering full system, local, server, or online service backups, or the ability to create images. If, on the other hand, you're pining for a service that you can configure and integrate into your existing IT infrastructure, Crashplan is probably not your best bet. Anyone looking for no-frills cloud backups and uninterested in server or mobile backups is likely to be pleased with Crashplan's purist approach. In addition to the service's web dashboard and desktop software, there's also an account dashboard that provides information about your user account, payment methods, and subscription settings.
