do employers have to keep any employee records ? yes . employers must maintain employee records concerning objective data , exposure monitoring , and medical surveillance . if using objective data to demonstrate that products made from or containing asbestos cannot release fibers in concentrations at or above the pel or stel , employers must keep an accurate record for as long as it is relied on and include the following information :
asbestos is responsible for over 5000 deaths every year . younger people , if routinely exposed to asbestos fibres over time , are at greater risk of developing asbestos - related disease than older workers . this is due to the time it takes for the body to develop symptoms after exposure to asbestos ( latency ) . exposure to asbestos can cause four main diseases :
not all work with asbestos materials requires a licence . however , all work with sprayed asbestos coatings , asbestos insulation or asbestos lagging and most work with asbestos insulating board ( aib ) requires a licence because of the hazardous nature of these higher risk materials . for information on when you might require a licence and the application process , see : licence application .

employers must also make exposure records available when requested to affected employees , former employees , their designated representatives , and / or osha ' s assistant secretary . in addition to retaining a copy of the information provided to the examining physician , employers must keep all medical surveillance records for the duration of an employee ' s employment plus 30 years , including the following information :
all health records must be kept for 40 years and the worker must receive a copy of the report . you will need to notify the regulator of any changes to a worker’s health .

asbestos may be part of any commercial or domestic building which was built or refurbished before the year 2000 . asbestos can typically still be found in any of the following :
the presence of asbestos alone should not be a cause for concern . asbestos only becomes a risk to human health when it is released into the air and breathed in .
testing protocol , test results , and analysis of the material for release of asbestos .
friable asbestos is a material containing asbestos that when dry , is in powder form or may be crushed or pulverised into powder form using your hand . this material poses a higher risk of exposing people to airborne asbestos fibres . friable asbestos was commonly used in industrial applications rather than the home , although loose - fill asbestos has been found in homes in nsw and the act , where it was sold as ceiling and wall insulation .
nashville ' s mona have announced the release of their new full - length album ' soldier on ' , their first new album following an extended hiatus that will be released via bright antenna records .
where possible asbestos must be labelled . for example , a label can be placed in the electrical meter box indicating that the building contains asbestos and the location of the register .
the majority of the current fatal cases from asbestos exposure ( approximately 4000 deaths per year ) are associated with very high exposures from past industrial processes and installation of asbestos products .
the asbestos survey can help to provide enough information so that an asbestos register , a risk assessment and a management plan can then be prepared . the survey will usually involve sampling and analysis to determine the presence of asbestos so asbestos surveys should only be carried out by competent surveyors who can clearly demonstrate they have the necessary skills , experience and qualifications .
employers must also make employees ' medical surveillance records available to them , as well as to anyone having specific written consent of an employee , and to osha ' s assistant secretary . also , employers must maintain other records . employers must maintain all employee training records for 1 year beyond the last date of employment . if data demonstrate acm does not contain asbestos , building owners or employers must keep associated records for as long as they rely on them . building owners must maintain written notifications on the identification , location , and quantity of any acm or pacm for the duration of ownership , and transfer the records to successive owners . when employers cease to do business without a successor to keep their records , employers must notify the director of the national institute for occupational safety and health ( niosh ) at least 90 days prior to their disposal and transmit them as requested . what is a regulated area ? a regulated area is a marked - off site where employees work with asbestos , including any adjoining areas where debris and waste from asbestos work accumulates or where airborne concentrations of asbestos exceed , or can possibly exceed , the pel . all class i , ii , and iii asbestos work , or any other operations where airborne asbestos exceeds the pel , must be performed within regulated areas . only persons permitted by an employer and required by work duties to be present in regulated areas may enter a regulated area . the designated competent person supervises all asbestos work performed in this area . employers must mark off the regulated area in a manner that minimizes the number of persons within the area and protects persons outside the area from exposure to airborne asbestos . you may use critical barriers ( i . e . , plastic sheeting placed over all openings to the work area to prevent airborne asbestos from migrating to an adjacent area ) or negative pressure enclosures to mark off a regulated area . posted warning signs demarcating the area must be easily readable and understandable . the signs must bear the following information :
no asbestos is likely to be present at the workplace from time - to - time .

what verifications exist for australian importers or consumers to show those imported materials do not contain asbestos .
asbestos was a widely used material within commercial buildings , homes and machinery until 1999 , when it was banned . this means that asbestos is common in the general environment . however , working directly with asbestos - containing materials ( acms ) can give personal exposures to airborne asbestos that are much higher than normal environmental levels . repeated occupational exposures can give rise to a substantial cumulative exposure over time . this will increase the risk of developing an asbestos - related disease in the future .
there are a number of practical publications on asbestos available for free download on the hse website .
asbestos work includes repair and maintenance operations where acm or presumed acm ( pacm ) are disturbed .
compressed air to remove asbestos or acm unless the compressed air is used with an enclosed ventilation system .
slightly damaged asbestos - containing materials ( acms ) can sometimes be repaired by sealing or enclosing them . however , you should only attempt to do this if you have had the necessary training . any badly - damaged asbestos material that is likely to become further damaged should be removed if it cannot be protected . some materials ( sprayed asbestos coatings , asbestos lagging / insulation or asbestos insulating board ) should only be removed by a contractor licensed by hse . your local environmental health officer can provide advice on this .
the asbestos risk register is a key component of the required plan on how you will manage any asbestos found , or presumed to be , in your buildings . this management plan must contain current information about the presence and condition of any asbestos in the building . the asbestos risk register will therefore need to be updated on a regular basis ( at least once a year ) . to do this you should make :
welcome back ! if you’re just joining us , here’s what this project is all about . we love ska music , and all of the varied offshoots that happened when bands mixed elements of ska with other genres . our label asbestos records has spent approaching 20 years working with ska acts around the country ( and the world ! ) , and we started this project to reissue as many of our favorite albums on vinyl . so far using kickstarter we have reissued 8 wonderful records , and it even resulted in some of the bands getting back together for reunion shows ! !
businesses must provide and pay for health monitoring for all those working with , or exposed to , asbestos .
no . it is illegal to supply any article containing asbestos , whether for money , or free of charge .
when you’re working with or near asbestos you must not use high - pressure water sprays or compressed air , brooms or anything else that might release asbestos into the air . you also need to control the use of power tools .
employers are required to keep a health record for each worker involved in notifiable non - licensed work with asbestos . these records can be brief - it may be as simple as writing down the names of workers on the job on your copy of the notification form , or keeping copies of the notification form for each person carrying out nnlw work as these will document the nature of the job and type of asbestos from which likely exposure can be estimated . a record could look something like this :
include decisions—and reasons for them—about the management of asbestos at the workplace , for example safe work procedures and control measures .
an asbestos survey is an effective way to help you manage asbestos in your premises by providing accurate information about the location , amount and type of any asbestos - containing materials ( acms ) . the person responsible for maintenance of non - domestic premises must either arrange a survey if it is suspected there could be acms in your premises or , the duty - holder may instead choose to presume the worst case of widespread asbestos in the premises and would then need to take all appropriate full stringent precautions for any work that takes place . however , it is often less troublesome and more proportionate to have an asbestos survey carried out so it is absolutely clear whether asbestos is present or not and what its condition is . you need to find out if you are responsible for maintenance and are the duty holder for the asbestos .
asbestos records seems to have a solution to this particular dilemma , as they have recently announced the third edition of the label’s 3rd wave ska preservation society vinyl kickstarter . the crowdfunding campaign series aims to reissue notable ska related albums that are currently out of print . this round of reissues focus on ska - punk and ska - core albums from bands reigning from the northeast united states .
so thank you for taking the time to consider our project , and if you are able to , please join our project and help us continually stengthen our little community , score some great records for your collection , and hopefully share those tunes with some new friends .
yes , if an employee is liable to be exposed to asbestos , then employers should provide that employee with adequate personal protective clothing appropriate for the work that they will be doing . the hse asbestos essentials sheet on ppe provides further information .
what is asbestos ? asbestos is the generic term for a group of naturally occurring , fibrous minerals with high tensile strength , flexibility , and resistance to heat , chemicals , and electricity . in the construction industry , asbestos is found in installed products such as sprayed - on fireproofing , pipe insulation , floor tiles , cement pipe and sheet , roofing felts and shingles , ceiling tiles , fire - resistant drywall , drywall joint compounds , and acoustical products . because very few asbestos containing products are being installed today , most worker exposures occur during the removal of asbestos and the renovation and maintenance of buildings and structures containing asbestos . what are the dangers of asbestos exposure ? asbestos fibers enter the body when a person inhales or ingests airborne particles that become embedded in the tissues of the respiratory or digestive systems . exposure to asbestos can cause disabling or fatal diseases such as asbestosis , an emphysema - like condition ; lung cancer ; mesothelioma , a cancerous tumor that spreads rapidly in the cells of membranes covering the lungs and body organs ; and gastrointestinal cancer . the symptoms of these diseases generally do not appear for 20 or more years after initial exposure . what construction activities does this booklet cover ? the asbestos standard for the construction industry ( 29 cfr part 1926 . 1101 , see urltoken ) regulates asbestos exposure for the following activities :
november is an important time to raise awareness of how to work safely with asbestos and know your responsibilities under the law .
do not try to repair or remove any asbestos materials yourself if you have not had any training for non - licensed asbestos work . you can seek advice from an environmental health officer at your local authority / council ( see the directgov website ) .
labels are not required if asbestos is present in concentrations less than 1 percent by weight . they also are not required if bonding agents , coatings , or binders have altered asbestos fibers , prohibiting the release of airborne asbestos over the pel or stel during reasonable use , handling , storage , disposal , processing , or transportation . when building owners or employers identify previously installed asbestos or pacm , employers must attach or post clearly noticeable and readable labels or signs to inform employees which materials contain asbestos . do employers have to train employees regarding asbestos exposure ? yes . employers must provide a free training program for all employees who are likely to be exposed in excess of a pel and for all employees performing class i through iv asbestos operations . employees must be trained prior to or at initial assignment and at least annually thereafter . training courses must be easily understandable and include the following information :
businesses with a class a licence are permitted to remove all types of asbestos , including both friable and non - friable forms .
despite being a prohibited import in australia , goods containing asbestos are still being located at the australian border and in australian workplaces .
a statement that the employee has been informed of the results of the medical exam and any medical conditions resulting from asbestos exposure .
those considered most at risk of exposure to asbestos fibres are tradesmen and maintenance workers who disturb the fabric of buildings during the course of their work . precautions must be taken to ensure that tradespeople don ' t put themselves or others at risk by disturbing asbestos .
asbestos
as used in this section , has the same meaning as defined in section 6501 . 7 of the labor code .
if you manage , or are in control of , a workplace , you have a responsibility to protect anyone that works with asbestos .
if you manage , or are in control of , a workplace , you have a responsibility to protect those who work with asbestos .
if you are concerned about possible exposure to asbestos from work activities , you are advised to consult your gp and ask for a note to be made in your personal record about possible exposure , including date ( s ) , duration , type of asbestos and likely exposure levels ( if known ) . in some circumstances , your gp may refer you to a specialist in respiratory medicine . hse does not advocate routine x - rays for people who have had an inadvertent exposure to asbestos . asbestos - related damage to the lungs takes years to develop and become visible on chest x - rays . x - ray examinations cannot indicate whether or not asbestos fibres have been inhaled .
you can’t see asbestos fibres with the naked eye and because they are very light , they can be blown long distances by the wind .
if you manage or control a workplace , it’s your responsibility to ensure an asbestos register is prepared , maintained and kept at the workplace .
licensed asbestos removal work is a significantly hazardous job because it involves higher risk asbestos - containing materials ( acms ) . these materials are more likely to release larger quantities of asbestos fibres when being removed than lower risk materials ( such as asbestos cement ) . as a result , workers who are employed in removing higher risk acms require specific training and should follow specific working practices . workers should also use sophisticated respiratory protective equipment ( rpe ) and are legally required to be under regular medical surveillance . it is because of the hazardous nature of this work that a licence to do it is required from hse . you can find further information on the hse licensing process on the asbestos licensing page .
an up - to - date list of licensed contractors including the type of licence held is available on our asbestos licensing information community page .
the existing requirements for workers involved in licensed work with asbestos to have medicals , conducted by doctors appointed by hse , remain the same .
although the type of asbestos involved and duration of exposure may be known , there may be little reliable information about the level of exposure . these are all important factors in determining the level of risk - the more fibres that are released by an asbestos - containing material , and the longer the work activity lasts , the greater the cumulative exposure to asbestos fibres and , therefore , an increased risk of ill health effects .
the duty to manage asbestos is a legal requirement under the control of asbestos regulations 2012 ( regulation 4 ) . it applies to the owners and occupiers of commercial premises ( such as shops , offices , industrial units etc ) who have responsibility for maintenance and repair activities . in addition to these responsibilities , they also have a duty to assess the presence and condition of any asbestos - containing materials . if asbestos is present , or is presumed to be present , then it must be managed appropriately . the duty also applies to the shared parts of some domestic premises .
workers must not handle asbestos unless they have been trained and hold a licence that is current and appropriate for the type of work being done .
following a survey , the surveyor should produce a survey report which details the findings . this information can help you prepare an asbestos risk register .
there are potentially large numbers of workers , including self employed trades people , involved in notifiable non - licensed work ( nnlw ) with asbestos , who will now be required to have medical surveillance for the first time . at present , however , there is only a small and limited network of doctors , who are familiar with asbestos and asbestos - related medicals . the transition period is designed to allow the development of a larger network .
because of its properties , which are described as being either ‘non - friable or ‘friable’ , asbestos was seen as being very useful for building products .
if using other barriers or isolation methods instead of critical barriers , employers must perform perimeter area monitoring to verify that the barrier works properly . in addition , impermeable drop cloths must cover all surfaces beneath removal activities . all class ii asbestos work can use the same work practices and requirements as class i asbestos jobs . alternatively , class ii work can be performed using work practices set out in the standard for specific jobs . for removing vinyl and asphalt flooring materials containing asbestos or installed in buildings constructed before 1981 and not verified as asbestos - free , employers must ensure that workers observe the following :
the contractor creating or controlling the source of asbestos contamination must abate the hazards . all employers with employees working near regulated areas , must daily assess the enclosure ' s integrity or the effectiveness of control methods to prevent airborne asbestos from migrating . general contractors on a construction project must oversee all asbestos work , even though they may not be the designated competent person . as supervisor of the entire project , the general contractor determines whether asbestos contractors comply with the standard and ensures that they correct any problems . who is responsible for communicating asbestos hazards at worksites ? the communication of asbestos hazards is vital to prevent further overexposure . most asbestos - related construction involves previously installed building materials . building / facility owners often are the only or best source of information concerning these materials . building / facility owners , as well as employers of workers who may be exposed to asbestos hazards , have specific duties under the standard . before work begins , building / facility owners must identify all thermal system insulation at the worksite , sprayed or troweled - on surfacing materials in buildings , and resilient flooring material installed before 1981 . they also must notify the following persons of the presence , location , and quantity of acm or pacm :
asbestos waste describes any asbestos products or materials that are ready to be disposed . this includes any contaminated building materials , dust , rubble , used tools that cannot be decontaminated , disposable ppe ( personal protective equipment ) and damp rags that have been used for cleaning . asbestos waste must be placed in suitable packaging to prevent any fibres being released . this should be double wrapped and appropriately labelled . standard practice is to use a red inner bag – marked up with asbestos warning labels – and a clear outer bag with appropriate hazard markings . intact asbestos cement sheets and textured coatings that are firmly attached to a board should not be broken up into smaller pieces . these should instead be carefully double wrapped in suitable polythene sheeting ( 1000 gauge ) and labelled .
you should stop work immediately , confirm what it is or assume it is asbestos and carry out a risk assessment . this will help determine if the work requires a licensed contractor . you should only carry out non - licensed work on asbestos if you have had the appropriate information , instruction and training .
people who believe they may have been exposed to asbestos are understandably anxious and concerned about the possible effects on their health . many cases of inadvertent , short - term exposure to asbestos will most likely have led to minimal exposure to fibres , with little likelihood of any long - term ill health effects .
7058 . 5 . ( a ) no contractor shall engage in asbestos - related work , as defined in section 6501 . 8 of the labor code , which involves 100 square feet or more of surface area of asbestos containing materials , unless the qualifier for the license passes an asbestos certification examination . additional updated asbestos certification examinations may be required based on new health and safety information . the decision on whether to require an updated certification examination shall be made by the contractors ' state license board , in consultation with the division of occupational safety and health in the department of industrial relations and the state department of health services .
now we ' ve been offered a whole bunch of amazing records to reissue , and vinyl is a good deal more expensive / risky to press , so we ' re reaching out to the ska community to help us to continue to preserve and reissue these classics of the genre we so love . the next batch of releases will be as follows :
workers cleaning up asbestos - containing surfacing material or thermal system insulation debris from a class i or iii activity after the activity is finished must be provided decontamination facilities required for class i work involving less than 25 linear or 10 square feet of material , or for class iii work where exposure exceeds a pel or no negative exposure assessment exists . note : for any class of asbestos work , employers must ensure that workers do not smoke in any work area with asbestos exposure .
rising singer - songwriter sasha sloan has signed to rca records . after emerging last fall writing and appearing on several high - profile collaborations , sasha released her debut single ready yet and has amassed over 10 . 4 million streams on spotify alone . since then , shes established herself as an artist to watch as she continues to release emotionally - rich , left - of - center pop such as her first release of 2018 , normal .  heralded by billboard as a catchy introvert anthem ,  the track has already been streamed over 9 . 4 million times . both ready yet and normal are among the six tracks featured on sashas debut ep , sad girl , set for release on vinyl via rca records .

a total ban on asbestos came into effect in australia on 31 december 2003 . it is illegal to make it , use it or import it from another country .
a timetable for managing risks of exposure , including dates and procedures for the review of the asbestos management plan and activities that could affect the timing of a review .
exposure to asbestos is reportable under riddor when a work activity causes the accidental release or escape of asbestos fibres into the air in a quantity sufficient to cause damage to the health of any person . such situations are likely to arise when work is carried out without suitable controls , or where those controls fail – they often involve :
work with particular asbestos - containing materials can only be carried out by somebody who holds a licence issued by hse . licences are granted for a limited period of time ( usually one or three years ) , enabling hse to review licences and the performance of licence holders at regular intervals . for more information , see : asbestos licensing .
the general duties in section 3 ( 1 ) of the health and safety at work etc act 1974 ( hsw act ) apply to protect householders from any risks from work activities being carried out in their homes . where work being done involves asbestos - containing materials then the control of asbestos regulations 2012 will also apply , in particular :
asbestos was once used in australia in more than 3 , 000 different products including fibro , flue pipes , drains , roofs , gutters , brakes , clutches and gaskets .
there are some asbestos removal tasks , involving lower risk asbestos - containing materials that do not require a licence . this is because any exposure to asbestos fibres from this type of work is not expected to present a significant risk , provided that the correct precautions are taken . however , under the asbestos regulations that came into force in april 2012 , there are now two categories of ' non - licensed ' work , one of which , ' notifiable non - licensed work ( nnlw ) ' , has additional requirements for employers . for more information on what work is classified as nnlw . hse has produced a series of task sheets on the appropriate controls for non - licensed work .
in owner - occupied domestic properties , the owners are not legally responsible for risks to contractors from asbestos , as the owners themselves are not engaged in any work activity .
where asbestos containing materials are assessed as being in good condition and not in a position where they are likely to be damaged they should be left in place and monitored .
in addition , osha ' s asbestos standard has specific requirements for each class of asbestos work in construction . what are the compliance requirements for class i work ? a designated competent person must supervise all class i work , including installing and operating the control system . the competent person must inspect onsite at least once during each work shift and upon employee request . employers must place critical barriers over all openings to regulated areas or use another barrier or isolation method to prevent airborne asbestos from migrating for the following jobs :
the only real challenge will be the potential for pressing delays . as any record collector now knows , the boom in vinyl sales has crippled the production lines which are few and far between . don ' t worry we ' ve been around for nearly 20 years and we ' ll make sure the records get done , and get into your anxious little hands as quickly as we can .
asbestos is a naturally - occurring mineral and can typically be found in rock , sediment or soil . it has strong fibres that are heat resistant and have good insulating properties .
swa is not a regulator and cannot advise you about asbestos laws in your jurisdiction . if you need help , please contact your state or territory work health and safety authority .
work involving some lower risk asbestos - containing materials ( eg asbestos cement products and textured decorative coatings , among others ) can be carried out if a risk assessment demonstrates that the control limit will not be exceeded and that any exposure to asbestos is expected to be ' sporadic and of low intensity ' . the control limit for this type of non - licensed work is 0 . 6 asbestos fibres per cubic centimetre of air ( 0 . 6 f / cm3 ) , measured over a ten - minute period . any work which is likely to result in exposures at or above this level cannot be considered to be sporadic and of low intensity and should therefore only be carried out by a licensed contractor .
control method encloses , contains , or isolates the process or source of airborne asbestos dust , or captures and redirects the dust before it enters into the employees ' breathing zone .

at code42 , we’re ' people - enthusiastic ' — meaning users enjoy our full set of sync and share capabilities on the devices they love ,
she explained .
the company designed shareplan to work with crashplan in a suite for businesses . the files can be stored in a data system , or cloud , maintained by a business , code42 , or a third - party provider . and , as with crashplan , code42 also will offer shareplan to consumers who want better protection when they send files to others .

endpoint data protection and management specialist code42 announced general availability of its fourth - generation endpoint data protection platform and a new version of its shareplan enterprise file sync and share ( efss ) solution .
one of our biggest customers was using the data and built some of their own tools to do forensics and analysis ,
payne said .
code42 has an opportunity to leverage that .
chief executive joe payne said in a statement that the new investment will allow code42 to focus on developing more services for businesses , a direction he has emphasized since arriving at the company this summer .
through the code42 platform , shareplan offers a private cloud deployment option for enterprises requiring on - premises storage of data and encryption keys . the shareplan price is $ 10 per user , per month .
it ' s an exciting time to join code42 amid impressive corporate growth and global , enterprise customer traction , all of which is rooted in solid underpinnings : an exceptional product offering and a proven customer - first approach ,
said payne .
i look forward to partnering with the code42 team during this next stage of growth , fueled by the tremendous opportunity in the endpoint data protection and security market .

this single point of integration makes it easier for crashplan and shareplan customers to use the code42 platform alongside identity management providers such as active directory federation services ( ad fs ) , centrify , ping identity and okta .
data backed up to the code42 cloud is retained for a short grace period prior to removal . to learn more about what happens to your data after a subscription or trial ends , see our data retention policy .
code42 ceo matthew dornquast said customers can manage endpoint backup and file sharing together in one dashboard , if they use the vendor ' s crashplan and shareplan . code42 will host customers ' backups and files on a public cloud that it maintains , but dornquast said most business customers prefer a private cloud with on - premises storage . a single console lets admins set and manage policies and security in real time for shareplan and crashplan .
a good example of this comes today from code42 . code42 is a security company that is focused on ensuring data remains safe , no matter whether it is at home , within the four walls of a business , or any point in between . the rise of cloud solutions , the burgeoning number of remote workers , and the huge uptake of byod and mobile devices has meant that the challenges around securing data have become more complex .

yes . using the crashplan app ' s default settings , files deleted from your device are never removed from your backup archive . in fact , restoring lost or accidentally deleted files is one of the things code42 does best ! however , because code42 is designed as a backup service , not an online storage service , we do not recommend using it as a way to

old files you no longer want stored on your computer .
the new product holds the potential for a sizable jump in sales for code42 , which has grown to $ 40 million in revenue last year from $ 10 million in 2010 — mainly from a data backup product called crashplan .
users can access their data from a wide variety of devices and operating systems—including mac , windows , ios and android . regardless which device type is used , the code42 user experience designed to be consistent from device to device .
code42 , a minneapolis software developer , on tuesday will begin distribution of a product that allows companies and consumers to swiftly synchronize and share large files across mobile devices and computers , jumping into competition with firms like dropbox and google .

through a single administration console , admins can support an unlimited number of users and adjust policies and security measures in real - time for both shareplan and crashplan enterprise endpoint backup . code42 also uniquely protects each version of every file , with no limits on version and storage .
any size organization challenged with the consumer - cloud conundrum appreciates shareplan enterprise - grade file sync and share , especially those organizations with data security and privacy policies requiring on - premises deployment ,
ann fellman , director of product marketing at code42 , told eweek .
for instance , in a recent survey of code42 enterprise customers , 81 percent stated their preference to deploy via private cloud . but here’s the deal - - when you offer this level of enterprise - grade security , visibility into the data is only as good as user adoption .
no refunds are available for crashplan for small business ( previously crashplan pro ) . your monthly crashplan for small business subscription grants you access to our backup service in advance . code42 retains your data until your subscription ends , even if you decide not to continue backing up new or changed data .

code 42 crashplan ( formerly crashplan proe ) is a centrally - managed , automatic backup solution for desktops and laptops . code42 crashplan is simple to use , highly efficient , and very secure . it allows you to take control of your backups , accessing your data anytime via mobile device , web browser , or desktop client .
code42 will use pricing to get attention , charging businesses $ 10 per user per month for shareplan . dropbox’s business product costs $ 15 per user per month , though the company in august lowered its price to $ 10 for a product called dropbox pro , which can be used by individual - run businesses like real estate agents .
shareplan , code42 ' s efss solution , was developed internally and uses the same crashplan engine , which allows it to be more tightly integrated into the company ' s endpoint backup product and improves efficiency . if a device is lost , shareplan can initiate a selective kill , meaning specific folders are removed without wiping the entire device .
quite simply , traditional security products lack the flexibility to resolve the new set of problems that organizations face , and into this void come a number of new companies . code42 is one of these companies . headquartered in minneapolis and backed by accel partners and split rock partners , the company has snagged some high - profile customers , including expedia , proctor & gamble , and harvard .
tip : archive files on external drives if you have access to an external drive , you can move files you no longer want on your computer to the drive , then back up the drive with code42 . even if you disconnect the external drive , the drive ' s files stay in your backup archive as long as you use the default setting to never remove deleted files .

code42 began in 2001 as a provider with a simple - to - use data backup service for consumers . as its product , called crashplan , became more robust , the company late in that decade began selling it to corporate customers . it grew in popularity as corporate it administrators coped with the proliferation of smartphones and the blurring of the lines between devices that are used for personal and corporate use .
the basic , measured rate of the data moving between the crashplan app and code42 ' s data centers , usually given in megabits per second ( mbps ) or kilobits per second ( kbps ) . this is the rate at which the compressed and encrypted data is actually transmitted . this rate does not take into account compression , and will generally be lower than the effective transfer rate or backup speed .
metrics like ltv ( lifetime value ) , cac ( customer acquisition cost ) and churn are of critical importance to a saas business . given a $ 75 billion market opportunity in the it security world , but massive competition from a plethora of companies , both early stage and more mature , payne will have to use that experience to great effect at code42 . despite different industry sectors , payne sees parallels between the two :
there are a number of significant parallels to code42 today and eloqua when it was a pre - ipo company . both companies are in fast - growing , evolving markets . both companies had established footprints with a few key enterprise customers . and , both companies have hard - working , young workforces that are committed to serving customers in order to win their respective markets . i’m looking forward to leading this team on what could be an awesome journey .
in 1995 , ibm purchased software maker lotus development for $ 3 . 5 billion , one of the biggest tech acquisitions at that time , mainly because of a product called lotus notes that safeguarded the exchange of corporate information . eventually , notes lost ground in corporate settings to e - mail and , with the arrival of mobile devices , companies ceded more control of data to employees . code42 and others are looking to restore some of that security .
code42 ' s crashplan can be implemented on - site , as a private cloud , as a public cloud or both . crashplan continuously backs up computers in the background and supports direct access of those backed up files on ios , android , windows phone and kindle devices . it leverages deduplication , compression and load balancing for network efficiency and offers data security features such as end - to - end encryption , remote device wipe and two - factor authentication .

the option to backup to multiple destinations means you will never be out of luck in case of a crash : if something happens to one backup location ( like your macbook ) , you’ll still have it on crashplan’s local server . you can easily restore it from another machine .
the version i tested here was crashplan + unlimited . ( read on for details of each crashplan + package . ) i synced backups between an imac and crashplan central , the software’s online backup location . i restored files to a macbook pro from crashplan central , and also used the ios app to access files .
the first step is figuring out which plan is the one for you . crashplan + offers three basic plans : crashplan + ( starts at $ 1 . 50 per month for 10gb of online storage and one computer ) , crashplan + unlimited ( starts at $ 3 per month for unlimited online storage and one computer ) , and crashplan + family unlimited ( starts at $ 6 a month for unlimited online storage between two to ten computers ) . pick the one that best matches your storage needs , and then customize your payment plan . you can opt for a month - to - month payment plan , or yearlong subscriptions after that ( pick between one and four years : four years gives you the best value ) . crashplan offers a free month - long trial if you’d like to try a plan out first before committing .
crashplan ' s desktop app shows you the progress of your backup . you can also restore files straight from the app .
once you’ve downloaded the software , you’re ready for your first backup . backing up to crashplan is super simple : once you’ve purchased your plan and downloaded the software , crashplan will automatically run backups at your specified backup time . i like to have mine always running , so it backs up as i edit and save new things ( it can save open files on os x , which gives me the ultimate peace of mind ) .
like all backup systems , your first backup takes a while , but all backups after that are significantly quicker . because crashplan stores your backups on their own servers—and because the backup occurs online—your first backup will be painfully slow . my imac took about four days for 490gb to save . subsequent backups are much quicker , as crashplan compresses data before the backup is sent .
restore your files to any computer with crashplan + ' s web restore option .
in case of a crash , or if you’re setting up a new computer , there are a few different ways to restore your data . to restore something on your mac that’s registered with crashplan , open the software app and click the restore tab along the right - hand side . you’ll see two dropdown menus : select the computer to restore files on by way of the top dropdown menu ; select the files from the correct backup destination from the bottom dropdown . to restore everything , select the catchall top box to select every file on your drive , then hit restore ; or , select individual files or folders .
another way to restore data is through a crashplan central web restore . login to your account on crashplan’s website , then select the computers tab along the left - hand side . you’ll see a list of the computers associated with your account ; click the restore button next to the computer you’d like to restore from . just like restoring from your desktop software , you can restore your complete backup , or just choose specific files . your selected backup will download as a zip folder . plus , you can use web restore from any computer—all you need is a web browser .
although there’s no limit on the size of the individual file that you restore , you’re limited to 250mb for a web restore . recovering your complete backup via web restore is likely to take a few zip files .
the crashplan app makes it easy to access files on the go : open files on your ios device with just a tap .
one question i had was in regard to crashplan’s privacy and safety measures . crashplan + promises an enterprise - grade 448 - bit encryption to secure your files before they’re even backed up . this ensures that only you can access your files from the main crashplan server .
with a crashplan , well , service plan , you can access your files through crashplan’s suite of ios apps . opening files through the app is a breeze . on the home screen of the app , you’ll see the devices you’ve backed up using crashplan listed on the left . select a device , and you’ll see the folders from your backups . navigate the folders , find the item , tap it , and the file downloads to your device .
the app and the mac software work completely in tandem—not only can you download files , you can check on the status of your backup , which comes in handy during your long first backup .
the crashplan app is available for both the ipad and the iphone , though i greatly prefer the ipad version for its clean interface , and it clearly wins for editing documents . the app is compatible with any version of crashplan .
crashplan + is easy to use , has a clean interface , and can be customized to fit different backup needs . different payment options also make it an affordable choice . plus , crashplan + ’s three restore options—app integration , web - based recovery on any computer , and desktop recovery—work seamlessly well together .

code 42 software raises $ 52 . 5m to raise profile for online backup | venturebeat
the ai event of the year for growth marketers . aug . 21 - 22
the best in ai . an invite - only executive event . oct . 22 - 23
code 42 software has been growing quietly in the background , providing online backup for consumers and enterprises . but after a decade of growth , it’s ready to raise its sales and marketing profile . so the company is announcing today it has raised $ 52 . 5 million from accel partners and split rock partners .
online backup has become a crowded and important market , now that both consumers and enterprises are generating a mountain of data , much of it stored in an unsecure manner on laptops , mobile devices and other gadgets . code 42’s ambition is to expand its sales and marketing so that it becomes the storage backup of choice when you want to protect your data .
matthew dornquast , chief executive and founder at minneapolis - based code 42 software , said in an interview that the company now has more than 100 petabytes of data backed up with its software and hardware . it has backed up more than 100 billion files and gets 250 million new unique files per day .
the services includes crash plan , an automatic backup system for consumers ; crash plan pro for small businesses ; and the crash plan pro hardware and software backup service for enterprises .
code 42 has some interesting approaches to the business . it embraces a freemium model , allowing you to back up your data to friends’ sites for free and to back up your data from different locations for free . the backup to friends method helps with the viral spread of code 42 .
it’s a good time to expand because the number of devices in the home and the enterprise that need backup — from phones to video recorders — is increasing every day . much of that data is personal , so it is increasingly important to store it in a secure way .
“there are all sorts of new devices that are generating data , and the question is how you can manage the data effectively , ” dornquast said .
in 2008 , the company expanded into enterprise backup and it now has 4 , 000 enterprise customers . many of those , including google , have taken the company up on its private data cloud service , where the customer takes control of the management of the data in the cloud .
ping li , a partner at accel , said in an interview , said , “code 42 is a good example of the consumerization of it . they span everything from the consumer , who likes the apple - like user interface , but do so in a sophisticated way that gets them into the enterprise . ” the investment is the first from accel’s “ big data ” fund aimed at infrastructure and application companies associated with gathering huge amounts of data .
rivals include carbonite and mozy in the consumer market and iron mountain , now owned by hp , in the enterprise . rivals such as box and dropbox have more sharing and collaboration focus . carbonite in particular is better known because it advertises all over the place .
“we come from a model of protection , while others focus on sharing , ” dornquast said . “a lot of our customers use us to build their own private clouds where they control it . ”
code 42 sells its software as a service or through perpetual licenses . for enterprises , that amounts to $ 5 to $ 10 a month for each computer and $ 6 a month for consumers .
the company has 86 employees and plans to double that this year . the company was founded in 2001 by brian bispala , mitch coopet and dornquast and it never raised venture capital until this round with accel . it has been profitable every year . in the last three years , revenue has grown 500 percent . dornquast said his firm will use the money for a sales and marketing expansion as well as research and development .
dornquast said the company is interested in acquisitions and made an acquisition last year of a mobile development team .
nothing elicits such a strong case of technology guilt as asking other people if they back up their computers . eyes dart toward the ground . excuses are made . the subject is quickly changed .
as many people know or quickly find out , backing up a computer can be a painfully slow process . this week , i tested a computer - backup system that requires minimal effort and works in the background to automatically back up files : crashplan . this appropriately named program is made by code 42 software , a minneapolis - based company .
crashplan works with all types of operating systems and lets users back up to remote servers in the cloud and / or other computers or hard drives , like another pc they own or one belonging to a good friend or family member ( as long as they give permission ) . the system also sets no restrictions on file size .
on a typical home internet connection , the backup process to a crashplan remote server could take several days or even weeks for a first - time backup . ( after that , backups are much faster and happen unnoticed . ) the first - time backup for one of my laptops with about 46 gigabytes of data had been running almost continuously for three days when i filed this column on tuesday . after the initial backup , regular backups won’t take nearly as long . crashplan has a mobile app that works on apple’s ipad , iphone and ipod touch , android and windows phone 7 , allowing remote access to backed - up files .
the free version of crashplan enables a daily backup to other computers and hard drives but not to code 42’s remote servers . the subscription - based crashplan + will back up to the remote servers as well as other computers or hard drives . it can back up as often as once a minute and lets users choose what data to back up where .
crashplan’s straightforward user interface clearly shows what your data are doing and where they are being stored .
crashplan + comes in three payment plans , each with its own tiered rates — from a month - to - month option to a four - year subscription . for each of the three plans , the four - year subscription is the least expensive at $ 70 , or about $ 1 . 50 a month per computer for up to 10 gigabytes of data ; $ 140 or $ 3 monthly per computer for unlimited storage ; and $ 288 or $ 6 monthly for up to 10 computers and unlimited storage . the company offers a free 30 - day trial .
i got started by downloading the software to my macbook , creating an account and starting the initial backup . a scan of my data took a few minutes before the actual backup began . using my verizon dsl connection over wi - fi , the estimates of how long it would take changed dramatically by the second . i saw estimates of as much as 17 . 5 days and as little as 6 . 6 hours .
i also downloaded crashplan onto my office windows pc , which has a fast , hard - wired ethernet connection . i logged into my account and opted to back up a folder of photos that was roughly 16 gigabytes . the estimate for this backup was a little over one day , though i didn’t adjust crashplan settings to get the fastest transfer on this pc . in a simple menu , i could opt to back up the windows pc to my macbook as well as to remote servers — or just to the macbook alone . on my macbook , i made sure to adjust the settings to get the fastest speed possible for my giant backup .
code 42 ceo matthew dornquast said the worst - case scenario speeds are initially displayed , but that these adjust down as time goes on . in my experience , the initial estimates didn’t change much .
crashplan backs up your newest files first on the assumption those mean the most to you , and it encrypts all files , so file names can’t be read on remote servers or backup computers . i liked crashplan’s straightforward user interface because it clearly showed me what my data were doing and where it was being stored . a section labeled “destinations” let me choose where data was backed up and options included “crashplan central” ( remote servers ) , “friend , ” “another computer” or “folder . ” a section labeled “files” showed exactly what was being stored ; in my case , this meant 285 , 930 files . an “inbound” section showed any computers that were using my computer for backup .
a crashplan mobile app is available on a windows phone 7 , iphone and android phone .
in settings , users can opt to be emailed or even sent direct messages via twitter that tell them the latest backup status . this is helpful if you’re only backing up to , say , one other pc in your house and that pc fails to back up .
in addition to over - the - air backups , crashplan users with a lot of data , very little patience or both may want to try an alternate option . for $ 125 ( including shipping both ways ) and a monthly fee for remote storage , the company will send a one - terabyte hard drive that can be loaded with data and mailed back . once that huge block of data is initially stored on remote servers , regular backups won’t take nearly as long .
to get data back , a “restore to your door” feature will send you a hard drive filled with your data so you can load it onto a new computer . this also costs $ 125 ( with shipping both ways ) and the monthly cost of remote storage .
compared with competitors , crashplan fares well . for example , crashplan doesn’t limit upload or download speeds , while carbonite limits upload speeds for large amounts of data after a certain amount has been backed up , further slowing the process . mozy supports external drives , but this backup is deleted if the drive is disconnected or turned off for more than 30 days . crashplan keeps the backup indefinitely , waiting for the drive to be reconnected .

matthew dornquast started the company in 2001 , says payne will lead
next big wave .
the appointment , announced tuesday , climaxes a leadership transition that began in late may when matthew dornquast relinquished control of the firm , which he led from its start in 2001 to about $ 65 million in revenue last year .
in his last role , payne led toronto - based eloqua inc . , a provider of marketing software , from $ 11 million to $ 125 million in six years before it was purchased by oracle corp . in 2013 .
it ' s that kind of growth we ' d like to aim for here ,
payne said .
it ' s a long journey , but it is really satisfying when you do it right .
dornquast and the company ' s other co - founders and board have been planning for the change for some time . over the past six weeks , another co - founder , mitch coopet , served as acting chief executive . the company hired a national recruiting firm to line up candidates and said that dornquast participated in the search .
the company , best known for its crashplan product for both enterprises and consumers , for the past year focused more intensively on the business market and doubled its revenue among large companies . in october last year , it also moved into the data synchronization space with shareplan , which was designed to swiftly share large files across mobile devices and computers . that product moved the company more squarely into competition with firms like dropbox and google .
the underpinnings of the culture are very strong ,
payne said .
the customer retention rate is 95 percent and our net promoter score , which measures the satisfaction of customers , is the highest i have seen for a provider of business - to - business software .
