How Teqtivity + CrashPlan Works

Track and Secure Assets Simultaneously
When a device is assigned or returned, Teqtivity tracks its physical details, while CrashPlan automatically backs up the associated data in real-time, providing complete data protection.

Backup Status Visibility
CrashPlan manages data backups, while Teqtivity offers visibility into their status. IT teams can monitor backup progress within Teqtivity during key asset lifecycle events, such as repairs or end-of-life transitions.

Legal Hold Compliance
If an asset is placed under legal hold, Teqtivity tracks the asset’s status to ensure compliance with hold conditions, while CrashPlan securely preserves the associated data in an unaltered state for legal retention.

Seamless Recovery for Ransomware, Device Migration, and Disaster Recovery
In the event of ransomware or a disaster, Teqtivity helps track affected devices, while CrashPlan restores data from the latest backups, minimizing data loss and downtime. During device migration, Teqtivity flags assets for backup, and CrashPlan ensures that data is backed up and restored seamlessly to the new device.

Backup Visibility
IT teams can easily view the backup status of each device, including how much of the hard drive has been backed up and when the last backup occurred—eliminating the need to log into CrashPlan separately for this information.

Lost or Stolen Device Scenario
If an asset is lost or stolen, IT teams can mark it as “lost” or “stolen” in Teqtivity. At the same time, they can check CrashPlan to verify if the backup was running. If backups were active, IT teams can transfer the data from the lost or stolen device to another computer, minimizing data loss and ensuring continuity of operations.
