Tried Libre-Mate, and I wasn't able to connect with Microsoft remote desktop, so I tried mRemoteNG and that worked. Removed Libre-Mate, started Crashplan Desktop, and tried to connect with mRemoteNG, and it didn't work. Thanks for all the effort anyway Mark

I don't have another pc, but I just installed the Microsoft remote desktop app on my Android phone and tried it from there. Same results. Thanks, Mark

Ok, thanks for that, this makes sense now, but that brings me back to the problem that I'm no longer able to connect to Crashplan Desktop. It was working fine, but then stopped. I didn't change anything, but I did reboot the server. I don't have it set to auto-start, so I started it manually. Here is all that shows up in the log: The log looks about the same on my system so that is probably ok. Did a reboot on my system and have no problem starting the CrashPlan Desktop Docker again and login with remote desktop. Is your Desktop Docker running so it’s only the remote desktop login that fails? Running out of ideas right now… Yes, that's correct, remote desktop doesn't connect. I've tried restarting the desktop docker, but of course that's not helping. One thing that was happening before it stopped connecting is that it would usually take a couple of login attempts before it would work. I'd usually get an error message with the first, and sometimes the second attempt. Sorry I didn't note what the error message was (it wasn't that the password was incorrect though), but anyway now I'm not even getting the login screen. I should also mention that, although this problem started before upgrading, I did just upgrade to Windows 10. I'm really confused here. The upside is that from logging in to the Crashplan website, it appears that it is still making progress with the backup, so I guess that's good, but I wish I could still get to the desktop gui. Don't know what I'll do if I need to change anything or add new directories to be backed up. Appreciate your efforts anyway. Thanks, Mark

Sorry I wasn't more clear. My pc is backing up to Unraid, and Unraid is backed up to the cloud. I have the Crashplan & Crashplan Desktop Dockers installed, and the Windows app on my pc. Thanks, Mark

Ok this is weird. I just got this working, but then had to shut down the server for a bit, and now I can't access Crashplan Desktop. Crashplan appears to be running fine, and my Windows computer is backing up to Unraid without issue, but I'd still like to be able to access the desktop, even if only occasionally. I tried restarting both Crashplan and Crashplan Desktop, then tried rebooting the server again, none of which helped. From reading here, I am getting the impression that I should be able to control the Crashplan server from my Windows client, but I'm not seeing how to do that. I can see how to use it to back up my Windows pc to Unraid, but not how to backup Unraid. Am I mistaken that this is possible? If it is, then I won't worry about the Crashplan desktop docker. Can anyone point me in the right direction either way? Thanks everyone for your help. Mark

I've been trying to figure out how to get Crashplan working for a while now. This is the first guide I've found that helped me get it up and running. I'm the type who has just enough tech savvy to break stuff, and not quite enough to fix it most of the time, so this is just what I needed. Thanks!
