But Crashplan also had an absolute abomination of a bloated, sluggish, Java-based client.

It was a bit, but I never found it as bad as Backblaze.

CrashPlan required, if I recall correctly, 1GB of RAM for every 1TB backed up. It got a bit unwieldy after a while, because I have multiple terabytes of photos and videos over many years.

These clients can't be that hard to write, surely?
