For a remote team you usually need **endpoint backup** (laptops that never touch your office network) and **SaaS backup** (Google Workspace / Microsoft 365, where \"the cloud\" is not a backup). Here's what I'd actually name, in order.\n\n## Endpoint / laptop backup\n\n**1. CrashPlan for Endpoints** - my default recommendation for a distributed team. It's purpose-built for exactly this: continuous near-real-time backup over any internet connection, unlimited storage per device so you're not capacity-planning, unlimited version history, and a central admin console with legal hold and retention policies.
