Many backup settings can be configured using either the cloud console or the app on the local computer. However, once CrashPlan has been setup for your computer we recommend you use cloud console where possible, since it provides an overview of all your current and past computers and offers more control over some settings, like notifications.Generally, you only need to log onto the CrashPlan app on a particular computer when you initially set up CrashPlan on that computer and then again only if the cloud console or an alert report that backups are not working on that computer.
