While the backup service provided by Code42 are still first in class, the above two controversial changes have broken some trust between Code42 and its clients.Is there any way to automate such a back-up process? Not within DT per se, maybe with some other tools.This option was eliminated when the consumer line of services were discontinued. Along with the previous example, before Crashplan became Code42, Crashplan had the option to back up to a remote machine on a different network with a free Crashplan account.When these options were discontinued, the cost of backing up with Code42 was effectively doubled for the same feature set. To add salt to the wound, about a year and a half ago, Code42 (Crashplan at the time) discontinued their consumer options - which were very reasonably priced at $60/year for a single computer or a family plan priced at $150/year for up to 10 computers. Perhaps one of the biggest downsides to Code42 is its price - at $10/month/computer Code42 is more than double the price of some existing backup services such as Backblaze (priced at $50/year/computer).Typically, restarting the service or restarting the computer will resolve the issue, but sometimes more in-depth troubleshooting is required. The Code42 desktop program consists of a Java program front end, as well as a backend service - there are times when the backend service will crash, and the front end Java program will refuse to load.Setting up Code42 isn't always a simple procedure, and depending on the complexity of your backup set, can take a while to tinker around with the settings to get everything to work properly. While this was also in the Pros category - Code42 is an extremely powerful and flexible program, which adds a great deal of complexity.

While this makes development for Code42 easier, there are a lot of drawbacks to Java programs including more resources usage, less stability, and overall more clunky interface. The Code42 program installed on your computer is Java-based vs.Static Application Security Testing (SAST).Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS).
