Is CrashPlan better than Carbonite?

I haven't tried out Carbonite, but CrashPlan has a much better pricing structure. Carbonite starts out at $59 per computer per year, whereas CrashPlan got us up to 10 computers for $119. We got it mainly for my dad's business computers, but we tagged along our home computers as well.

So far I'm really liking it along with the access of my whole MBP on their iPhone app (they have android and bb as well). Unlimited backup space for all computers. And from what I understand CrashPlan has better security encryption than Carbonite.

The only downside thus far is the throttled upload speed, which I did know about because they state it on their website. Upload speed depends on their server load. It really isn't a big deal after I finished backing up my 80gb system, now it just runs quietly in the background.

Dont think this is considered a purchase, but I brought my 2011 15" mbp to the apple store for its second logic board replacement (radeongate 😡) and since it failed 30 days after the 1st one was replaced they gave me a replacement! mid 2014 15" rMBP high end.

I got lucky, first the genius said that if the replacement board failed a 3rd time then I would be given a new machine. But I pleaded with the guy and he talked to the manager and they decided to give me a new one now. I guess it depends on the genius that you talk to at the time. It also helped that I bought a couple of macs from that store.

Do they still need to be under warranty or is there an extended program going on?
