    Cheers. Completed the form. Although strange that company field was mandatory for a home plan.

      Did you put down OZBargain in the company field.

      They will start wondering why 1000's of subscribers work at the Ozbargain Company

      • Slo20 on 01/01/2015 - 21:07

        Haha no I didn't but now I wish i had. Strangely when I click the link again in now auto populates my email address and has new fields for job title, department, purchasing role and upcoming projects.

    This promotion is eligible to US residents only.
    Also Australian customers have Sydney-based servers and pricing plans. As far as I know, Australian customers aren't entitled to the US-based pricing and offers.

    (BTW, I have two subscriptions to CrashPlan already. It's awesome…highly recommended. It works on Mac, Linux as well as Windows).

      Put USA as your country

      So what happens to our accounts when we use 'em in Australia?

      • easternculture on 01/01/2015 - 21:11

        Should be fine to use them in Australia. Just apply the License Key when you receive it

      • guidedlight on 01/01/2015 - 21:14

        In my experience with Code 42, they will likely be invalid from the start. I don't think this promotion applies to Australian customers at all.

          SO i put Australia as Country and signed up and this is what i got

          THANKS! WE'VE RECEIVED YOUR REQUEST.

          A member of our team will be in touch mid-January to provide you with your free home backup.

          Thanks for requesting a free year of home backup. This giveaway closes on January 12, so you'll hear from our team via email the second half of January.*

          SO it should be GTG for AU customers too

          I signed up anyway, painless a form. Shall see what comes out in a couple weeks times. Happy new year to all

          Agreed, it's painless. You might as well do it. :-)

        • guidedlight on 01/01/2015 - 21:27

          As mentioned, everyone might as well sign up…it's pretty easy.

          Having been a long-term customer of CrashPlan, I'm highly doubtful this will honoured. But despite this it is an amazing product.

    Thanks OP… it's interesting, I read the official rules, and it says all this stuff about it being a sweepstakes and a giveaway. Will be interested to see what happens on the 12th.

  • ozbargained on 01/01/2015 - 22:07

    Use it for 1 year, get hooked, pay full price for 10 years.
    I like it! ;)

    • guidedlight on 01/01/2015 - 22:13

      Yes. The online backup storage is unlimited, and fully versioned…so leaving CrashPlan can be very difficult.

      Also annoyingly any discounting is only available for new customers only (e.g. the current 20% off sale).

      • spockter on 02/01/2015 - 00:29

        There was a 50% off deal Nov last year to extend existing subscriptions by a year.

        Needless to say, I took up the offer as like others I think it is a great product.

    nice deal but it seems similar to another post by trent

    • Utopian on 01/01/2015 - 22:58

      Link?

    Now I understand this says "home family", but would I be able to back up nonprofit servers with this? What are the terms?

    Also, any terms on limits? Surely a company wouldn't allow true unlimited data storage… That'd be crazy.

    • blurrybird on 02/01/2015 - 00:22

      I have 8TB in crashplan and haven't heard anything from them about me using too much. Been using their one PC licence for years and threw it on my home server. If anyone in the family want their data backed up, they just store it on the server or place a copy there. It makes photo backups so simple.

  • slowmo on 02/01/2015 - 00:50

    question for those that are already on crashplan, how's the restore experience via cloud like?

    is it big bang restore or you can pick individual files (from different dates/versions) to restore?

    is the restoration a painful process?

    • rjblakel on 02/01/2015 - 09:44

      File levels restores are possible…and in my experience are faster than the corresponding backup time.

      • slowmo on 02/01/2015 - 11:01

        Thanks for replying, is there a max file size to this or everything is transparent? (Eg back up a 2tb encrypted hdd image)

    A lotta loyalty for a hired mod!

  • SirNed on 02/01/2015 - 02:08

    And n the conditions page it says

    1. Eligibility.

    This promotion is open to legal residents of the U.S. who are eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry.

    • Roary on 02/01/2015 - 02:58

      Which according to the site rules should not be posted

      • IMBI3 on 02/01/2015 - 07:07

        Some people might live in USA

      • Eeples on 02/01/2015 - 10:46

        ….which rule exactly?

        • Slo20 on 02/01/2015 - 11:07
          +3

          I believe he is referring to this rule "Is this deal available to Australia?"

        • Moderatorneil on 02/01/2015 - 15:27

          If an OzBargain user can attain the deal, then it is available to Australia. If they can not, then it is not available to Australia. There are many deals that require a VPN or a US address to access the deal.

          My previous experience with a similar Crashplan deal was that it was restricted to the US in the terms & conditions however, my free 1 year trial was able to be used in Australia.

  • matthiew on 03/01/2015 - 17:55

    Website says that it's ended :(

    • Roary on 04/01/2015 - 00:28
