Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I can't believe that CrashPlan still has no Mac menu bar item to show backup progress and no way to temporarily stop backups. This has been the same for over 18 months now. I do not understand the blind spot here? Even the Win version has a CP tray item that pops up info when you pass the cursor over it. On Mac we have to open the very slow desktop app to even see what is happening. AS for stopping and pausing backups this is ESSENTIAL for the thousands of Europeans who use 3G data USB sticks for internet connection. These are all capped and a CP backup can easily make you go over the limit and cost money. Why won't you devise an easy way to stop and pause CP backup. You can tell I am pretty pissed off about this! Almost EVERY other backup service, Mozy, SugarSync, Dropbox etc all have useful menubar controls. What's the problem
