So an update after I posted this. I was actually able to connect to the server on that machine by going to the IP address instead of the server name, but only after I created a new user account and connected through that. I still couldn't connect via IP with my original 'root' user account.

So all of a sudden I can't access my server from one of my Windows 10 desktop PCs. I can access it fine from all of my other devices (including Windows 10). Only thing I can think of that is different from the other devices is that the one that doesn't work is a wired connection, all others are WiFi. When I try to access the server, it prompts for username & password (which never happened before outside of the initial connection). So I enter the username & password and get a message that says, "\\FILESERVER is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again."
I have tried rebooting both the unRAID server and the Windows machine with no success. I also looked at the thread on this forum about Windows connection issues and tried those suggestions. Obviously it is an issue with my Windows desktop but I have no idea what could have changed. Thought maybe it was due to a Windows Update but I looked at my other Windows machines and they all have the same updates. It worked one day and then all of a sudden didn't work. I also tried a "net use * /delete".
I've attached my server diagnostics, but again I think it is something with my Windows 10 machine.

If you don't care about file history/versions, click the "Manage Files" button for your device and unselect everything under /mnt/user.
Under Manage Files there is currently nothing showing in the /mnt folder. Even /user is not there anymore. If I got to 'Get Files' the folders and files are still there though (as well as under /storage).

CrashPlan does deduplication on your data. It's for this reason that even though you theoretically have twice the same data on different locations, the total number of GB in the cloud is not doubled.
Thanks Djoss. Is there a way for me to safely clean up or merge the 2 data sets so Crashplan only shows the /storage one? I guess in the end it doesn't really matter but it kind of bothers me.

I don’t think it is uploading anything. The status can be confusing. Did you verified (on your router for example) if your upload bandwidth is really used?
Oddly enough when I look at my upload bandwidth used, it says 33 GB in the last 2 days, which isn't nearly as much as the nearly 1 TB I have backed up, but certainly seems like more than the normal amount I would expect. And looking at the times of the heavy upload, it definitely falls in line with when the backup would have been running.
The sync is now at 94% (with 56 GB to do). The other thing is when I look under 'Get Files' I see both sets of data - the one under /mnt/user and the one under /storage. The /mnt/user shows my full 938 GB backup size, the /storage shows 923 GB. Is it possible they both theoretically point to the same place but the new path isn't fully synced up yet? Something along those lines must be the case because when I login to my Crashplan account, it says I'm using a total of 990 GB.

But the folder are selected?
They were. But now I just went in to verify and there are no folders under /mnt anymore.
Incidentally, somehow my CrashPlan Pro Docker got enabled (I swear I disabled it) and the backup ran this morning and appears to have started the upload as if from scratch. It's already more than half done so I guess it's no big deal at this point. Thought it would take a lot longer to upload about 1 TB of data.
But is there anyway for me to go back to to original data set?

So when you manage device's files, all files to be backup are selected both under your old and new paths? Then nothing should be re-uploaded.
Under the old path (/mnt/user), only the folders show under Manage Files, not the files themselves.

So I just went through the process of switching over from Crashplan Home to Crashplan for Small Business. Went through the steps and I'm at the point now where I have everything set up, but due to the change in path I'm worried it will remove all my files from Crashplan Central and try to upload them again.
It is saying my backup set contains 979.6 GB (which sounds about right). But then it is saying the next backup has 256,000 files and 980 GB to do. I also noticed when I go into 'Get Files', all of my backed up files are there, but they are still under the old path /mnt/user. I had just gone through and selected them under /root/storage (the new path).
So will Crashplan know these are the same files? Or will it remove my current archive and re-upload everything?

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm leaning toward the Backblaze B2 solution while using the CloudBerry Docker in unRaid. Been playing with it with a smaller data set for a few days now and like it so far. Backblaze B2 is not unlimited, but it's really cheap so unless you're backing up 2 TB of data or more, it might be worth looking into. For myself, I backup about 1 TB so Backblaze B2 would be about $5/month for me. There is a $0.02/gb download fee, but I normally don't download much. Below is a breakdown of their pricing, including a calculator. What I may end up doing is just migrating over to Crashplan Pro initially since they're offering it for only $2.50/month for 12 months for existing Crashplan Home customers, and that will buy some more time to evaluate.

Trying to set this up with Google Drive and getting the below message when the backup runs. I did enable no-auto-compact. I'm running a fresh backup for the first time so I don't care about losing data on the Google Drive (there isn't any there anyway). Any ideas?
"The backup contains files that belong to another operating system. Proceeding with a backup would cause the database to contain paths from two different operation systems, which is not supported. To proceed without losing remote data, delete all filesets and make sure the --no-auto-compact option is set, then run the backup again to re-use the existing data on the remote store."

I just recently pulled my Sempron 140 and dropped in an Athlon x4 630 that I bought off Ebay for 25Bucks.
I'd look at your Mother Board and see what you can drop on it for a cheap upgrade unless of course your very particular.
Apparently I can put a Phenom II in my mobo.

So I've been running a Sempron 140 Sargas Single-Core 2.7 GHz with 4GB of DDR2 memory for several years now. It's done me pretty well, although I don't do that much crazy stuff with it - my only dockers are Crashplan and Plex. Once in a while I get stuttering issues with Plex, although I'm not sure if it's my devices or the server since I only use direct play (no transcoding) since it's always inside my network. The devices I use for Plex are 2 Samsung Smart TVs and an Amazon Fire Stick.
Either way, I've been thinking about upgrading the CPU (and I guess the mobo and memory would have to upgrade with it). Was thinking maybe an i5-6500 6MB Skylake Quad-Core 3.2 GHz. Not sure what mobo I should match that up with, but would like something that would ideally allow for 10 drives, although I could get by with 8.
I don't do VM and don't plan to, although admittedly I'm not sure what that is used for on an unRAID server? What do people use the VMs for?
I notice I don't see much talk about AMD on here. Is there a reason for that? It seems like you get more bang for your buck with something like an AMD FX-9590.
Another option I could have if I wanted to save a lot of cash (which I'm guessing wouldn't even be worth it) would be to just upgrade the Sempron to a Phenom II...then I wouldn't have to upgrade the mobo.
Help! Can no longer access unRAID server from one of my PCs

Thanks, I did read that thread. I'm still baffled as to why it worked for 10 plus years and all of a sudden it stopped working?
