Get started
Many schools, departments and organizations already subscribe to the central Code42 CrashPlan service. Submit a Help ticket to request installation by your local IT support team. If your organization does not yet subscribe to this service, persons with financial authority can submit an OrderIT request to get started.
Eligibility
Each subscribing organization sets their own eligibility policy; check with your local IT support group for verification. Current Stanford affiliates determined to be ineligible can purchase a discounted subscription to the consumer version of CrashPlan. Importantly, the consumer version is not approved for Moderate or High Risk risk classifications. Stanford's central Code42 CrashPlan service, on the other hand, is approved for all data classifications, including protected health information.
