CrashPlan for Home is shutting down completely on October 22, 2018, which is presumably beyond when the last subscriptions will expire. Even if you’re using CrashPlan just for local backups and peer-to-peer backups you’re going to have to find a new solution because those features will stop working, too. To be clear: All of CrashPlan for Home’s features will stop working on October 22, 2018. Code42 says CrashPlan for Home customers can migrate to CrashPlan for Small Business. The company also struck a deal with Carbonite for users who want to switch to a different cloud-based backup service.
