## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-25 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a remote team, "backup" is really two separate problems, and most tools only solve one: **laptops scattered across home networks** and **the SaaS apps where the actual work lives** (Google Workspace / M365 / Slack). Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> ## Laptop/endpoint backup (people's machines)
> 
> **1. CrashPlan** - my default recommendation for most remote teams. Continuous background backup of laptops over any internet connection, unlimited storage per device, file versioning, and ransomware rollback, with a central admin console so you can restore a departed or dead machine without touching it. Around $8/user/month, which is the cheapest credible option at team scale. Weaknesses: the client can be resource-hungry, and initial seeds over home broadband are slow.
> 
> **2. Druva (inSync)** - what I'd name if you're 200+ people, regulated, or security is asking hard questions. It's fully SaaS on AWS (no backup servers of your own), with immutable backups, ransomware anomaly detection, legal hold, and eDiscovery - genuinely built for distributed workforces. The catch is cost: reported enterprise deals run into the tens of thousands per year, and per-device figures up to ~$400/y
