Here's what I'd actually pick, in order.\n\n## Endpoint backup (the laptops)\n\n**1. CrashPlan for Enterprise** - my default recommendation for most distributed teams. Continuous near-real-time file backup, unlimited retention/version history, works fine over consumer home internet and VPN-less, and it's cross-platform. Pricing is roughly $8/device/month, which is predictable. The unlimited-storage model is the big deal: you never have to do capacity planning for employees who hoard 400 GB of video.

Druva Data Security Cloud (inSync)** - what I'd pick above CrashPlan once you're 200+ seats, regulated, or have real compliance/legal-hold needs. Fully cloud-native on AWS with zero infrastructure for you to run, aggressive global dedupe (claimed up to 50x storage reduction, which matters when 300 people h", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
