"Capable Cloud Backup for PC and Mac"

4.5/5

What do you like best about C2 Backup?

The interface is common for both PC and Mac. I am also able to create specific backups and retain those by locking them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about C2 Backup?

I am looking forward to C2 working as a bare-metal backup for Mac. While this is not always needed, as a last resort, this would be very convenient and solve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Software for Home Backups"

5/5

What do you like best about C2 Backup?

The installation and setup were very easy and straightforward. Configuration of backups was simple, and everything was running quickly. The backup runs without affecting the system while working as well. The dashboard gives you a great view of the backups and status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about C2 Backup?

As of right now, there is nothing to dislike about the product. Having a 3GB fibre internet connection helps, so this might be the only downside for users with a slower internet upload speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is C2 Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

C2 solves my issues with supported operating OSes by a cloud backup provider. Specifically, I had issues with Crashplan EOLing OSes I was actively using. The cost of C2 is also significantly less than what I was paying for other providers which is an added plus. I'll always take a superior product for less money!

"Event-triggered backup & client-side encryption are superb for our Desktops & Laptops with C2 Backup"

4/5

What do you like best about C2 Backup?

C2 Backup is effective for our day-to-day backup activities performed on our system configurations, application deployments and user settings. It offers great version control management for our documents, images, videos & audio files. It follows an excellent tree structure which helps with locating the folders & files which we need and recovering them as per our conventions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about C2 Backup?

It provides high availability and redundant infrastructure to organize our backup schedules. It has high standards defined for incident responses and access restrictions on its data centers to prevent security threats. It can also clone complete PC or Laptop backups which avoid losing applications and operating systems with all the relevant configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is C2 Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

C2 backup enables protection from all data breaches with its client-side encryption features. It encrypts with advanced AES-256 encryption standards so that the data is rendered unreadable before it's transferred to C2 data centers. Enabling its MFA option provides additional security as our data can be accessed only with the authentication code generated by our mobile authenticator apps. We can also schedule backup activities through triggers such as OS start, screen lock times or when a user logs out. Depending upon our needs, we can keep multiple versions of a file and also establish retention policies for their lifecycle management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
