CrashPlan Deepens Collaboration with Microsoft to Strengthen Enterprise Data Resilience

CrashPlan, an advanced backup, archiving, recovery, and compliance solution for Microsoft 365, is proud to share new details of a deeper strategic collaboration with Microsoft. The collaboration builds on years of joint innovation and now includes broader co-marketing, co-selling, and co-development initiatives designed to help enterprises strengthen their Microsoft 365 data resilience strategies.CrashPlan’s backup and recovery platform, with integrated archiving and compliance, is built entirely on Microsoft Azure and integrates deeply with Microsoft 365, safeguarding data across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams. Unlike traditional backup tools that retrofit legacy architectures for the cloud, CrashPlan was purpose-built for modern, cloud-scale environments, delivering a unified, resilient, and future-proof experience for IT teams, across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, endpoints and servers. CrashPlan is available in Microsoft Marketplace, is co-sell eligible and counts toward customers’ Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC).

As part of recent collaboration expansion efforts, CrashPlan is introducing Microsoft 365 Archiving capabilities within its Backup and Recovery Platform. With data volumes in Microsoft 365 environments growing rapidly, many enterprises face escalating storage costs and compliance challenges. CrashPlan’s SharePoint Archiving capability automatically offloads inactive data to secondary storage while preserving user access through file stubs. By combining archiving, de-dupe, compression, and incremental backup, organizations can reduce storage expenses while maintaining full recoverability and compliance posture.

CrashPlan and Microsoft are also exploring new ways to use AI-search to efficiently gain new insights from backup data, solving the database scalability challenges faced by many enterprises today.

“CrashPlan’s mission has always been to make data protection simple, secure, and cost-effective,” said Randy De Meno, VP, business development and Microsoft practice, CrashPlan. “Deepening our collaboration with Microsoft allows us to bring that vision to even more organizations, combining innovation, scale, and trusted collaboration to help customers achieve true data resilience.”
