Just a PSA. CrashPlan tweeted that they are giving a year of backup space for free to users switching from Carbonite.
Despite this "limitation," any email address technically will work... Use your own because they register the year free to the email address you enter. There are some reports that CrashPlan will audit sign ups to determine if you are really a Carbonite user, but as far as I know, this hasn't happened yet and there is a chance that it still won't happen.
Direct link to the offer.
Hopefully someone finds this useful. I've used them before, stopped, and use Arq right now, but another backup location isn't a bad thing... Better to be safe than sorry I guess...
