-== Reviewed for Conflict ==
-Can't find anything blatantly advertising like or incorrect.  Comparing user counts via alexa and compete, it appears they are more relevant than many providers listed in wikipedia.
-I modeled this article based on the format and content used in the currently posted article about Backblaze. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backblaze
-Not sure what is missing in the CrashPlan article that makes it a candidate for removal. Please offer specific suggestions about what needs to be changed.
-Thank you.

-== Cleanup request ==
-{{t|request edit}}
-There was previously a separate article on the company's software Crashplan and in the merge things got a little mixed up. A lot of the content became redundant, poor grammar, etc. I would like to propose the following:
-* Delete the Reviews section. I don't think it makes sense to have it now that the article is focused on the company.
-* Delete the software infobox. It's crowding the article, which already has a company infobox. Also, most of the info in the box is repeated elsewhere.
-* Replace the Software and Features sections with a couple paragraphs (leaving the Reception section in). This section got muddled up in the merge and became over-sized and redundant. Just a couple paragraphs about the products should be all that's needed.
-{{collapse top|Proposed Crashplan section (to replace Software and services & Features)}}
-== Mapped drives ==
-continuation of truncated edit summary:
-one of the citations doesn't seem to mention mapped drives, one is dead and one is ambiguous, but from crashplan support page cited for the workaround and the citation I've given it's clear that the issue is being unable to backup mapped drives, not backup to them. I think the statement about competitors being able to do that should probably be removed as it's not in any of the citations either, but I'll leave it for a bit in case anyone wants to add a citation. [[User:GoddersUK|GoddersUK]] ([[User talk:GoddersUK|talk]]) 16:36, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
-:* I removed [http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2375988,00.asp PC Magazine] from that sentence, which does in fact not mention mapped drives
-:* I added a [http://www.itworld.com/article/2767643/storage/online-backup-services.html working link] for the Macworld article, however it also does not mention mapped drives; suggest we remove it from that sentence
-:* The only [http://www.networkcomputing.com/storage/online-storage-buyers-guide/d/d-id/1089880?page_number=2 reference that actually does mention it] says "doesn't officially recognize "mapped" drives."
-:At the moment, I'm wondering if the subject should even be covered at all, given that it is only mentioned in passing by one source, however I thought I saw more about it somewhere. Let me do some more searches and see if I can find other sources. (Please note my COI disclosure) [[User:CorporateM|CorporateM]] ([[User_talk:CorporateM|Talk]]) 17:20, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
-::Thanks [[User:CorporateM|CorporateM]]. I didn't want to remove the citations in case I'd missed something, but a second pair of eyes reduces the likelihood of error :) Regarding the importance of this sentence: seconded, I don't know whether this issue is really worthy of being mentioned in WP (beyond in a tabulated feature comparison, etc). Most likely someone for whom this is a deal-breaking feature encountered the problem and decided the world must know so added it here. [[User:GoddersUK|GoddersUK]] ([[User talk:GoddersUK|talk]]) 08:56, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
-::Also I'll try and be slightly more specific in my talk page comments in future so other editors don't have to go reference hunting or whatever to understand what I'm talking about :) [[User:GoddersUK|GoddersUK]] ([[User talk:GoddersUK|talk]]) 09:05, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
-:::I have now removed the Macworld reference from this sentence. [[User:GoddersUK|GoddersUK]] ([[User talk:GoddersUK|talk]]) 09:08, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
-:::I did most of the article and brought it up to "Good Article" status, so anything wrong with the page is probably my doing. Even though I added the poorly-sourced criticism myself, it's still inappropriate for me to remove it per [[WP:COI]], so the ball's in your court if you agree it seems like a trivial item in a summary of reviews.

-{{request edit|A}}
-Per the discussion above, I'd like to request we remove the sentence at the very end of the Reception section about mapped drives. It was most probably me that added it originally, however thanks to [[user:GoddersUK]] second look, we discovered only one of the three sources I used actually mention it and only in passing.

-== Updates ==
-{{request edit|A}}
-I would like to request an editor consider some proposed updates located at [[User:CorporateM/Code42]] to incorporate new sources that have been published since I brought the page up to GA last year and trim a few unnecessary primary source. The draft includes bolded text for additions and strikeouts for trims. Thanks in advance for taking a look!

-== Updates Requested/Needed ==
-At some point in the past the CrashPlan article was merged in with the Code42 article.
-As of July 2022, CrashPlan the product has been spun out from Code42 and is its own entity focused on backup and recovery whereas Code42 are continuing on their course to provide Insider Risk Management: https://www.crashplan.com/en-us/crashplan-receives-investment-from-mill-point-capital/
-https://twitter.com/crashplan/status/1554832245579337728?s=20
-I cannot edit the article as 1) I am a brand new baby editor and 2) I work for an involved party and want to be respectful of the community guidelines against edits in that case.
-Can someone help me out and make sure that it's clear that CrashPlan is in no way affiliated with Code42 at this juncture? It would be helpful to create a dedicated "CrashPlan" page which focuses on the product and indicates that there is a separation.
