If you are considering upgrading your operating system we suggest you check here whether it is yet supported.Ĭode42 publish an official list of supported operating systems which may be more up to date or detailed than the information below so do consult it.

You should also note that new operating system releases are unlikely to be supported immediately, though they often are within only a month or so. In practice Code42 will continue to work, at least for a while, on older operating systems when they fall out of support although you may not get upgraded to the latest version of the software, and will work on many more distributions of Linux. Note however that there is a difference between fully supported and whether it works. System requirementsĬode42 is fully supported by the vendor on reasonably recent versions of Windows, macOS, Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. While in some places CrashPlan is used in more places it is known as Code42. Note that the branding is a little confused. The Code42 Cloud backup service is best suited to backing up single-user machines, or machines where a single user can take ownership of the backups (the HFS Spectrum Protect Backup Service may offer an alternative solution, subject to its own qualifying criteria).

It is a GUI-based backup product to the Cloud that replaces the existing Spectrum Protect backup solution with many benefits including frequent automated backups in the background, unlimited storage and multiple file versioning allowing point-in-time restores. Code42 CrashPlan has been selected by the University as the recommended tool for securing backups of university data on personal, single-user computers like your desktop and laptop at work and at home.
