Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n## Laptops (the actual remote-team problem)\n\n**1. CrashPlan for Endpoints** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. Continuous near-real-time backup of file changes with no user intervention, Windows/Mac/Linux, unlimited cloud storage at predictable per-device pricing. It's the one that survives contact with employees who never think about backup, which is the whole game when machines are scattered across time zones and home Wi-Fi.\n\n**2.
