What types of data can I back up with CrashPlan?

CrashPlan offers a versatile data backup solution that allows users to back up various types of data. Commonly backed up data includes documents, photos, music, videos, and application data. Users can select specific files or folders they wish to protect, which grants them control over their backup strategy. In addition to personal files, CrashPlan can also back up system settings, emails, and configurations for different applications. Importantly, CrashPlan does not back up operating system files, applications themselves, or files stored in non-traditional locations, such as certain virtual machine files. This means that while a broad range of data can be safely backed up, users should be aware of these limitations when planning their backup strategy. For more detailed information about specific file types and limitations, it may be helpful to explore the official CrashPlan website, where users can find comprehensive resources that outline the capabilities of their backup service.
