If I understand correctly you don’t backup anything to the CrashPlan cloud, the intention is firstly to do a backup of your PC to unRAID? I don’t really understand your configuration, have you installed the CrashPlan Docker on unRAID and the CrashPlan Windows app on your PC?

As garycase is pointing out SyncBack as an easy way of doing it. There is a free version you can download and try. CrashPlan could possible work but your backup would be stored in their backup format and you need to figure out how to mount a share on the remote server. Could possible be done with plugin Unassigned Devices using SMB Mount. rsync is perfect for the task but has a steep learning curve and requires a lot of time to setup if you aren’t already familiar on how to use it. Have a look here for my setup : http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38554.msg358683#msg358683 There is also the Syncthing Docker that you could look at. I haven’t used it between two servers myself but it might work. Edit: Forgot to mention the Websync Docker. This is rsync with a GUI. Haven’t tried but looks promising.

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! Thanks, I appreciate your feedback!

Same problems with Docker… Any running Docker can’t be stopped, any Docker not running can’t be started however a force update will start a Docker but then can’t be stopped. If the array is stopped and restarted the Dockers that I previously tried to stop is now stopped. Same result when rebooting the server.

Only thing I'd say is to add the URL for the container to the doc.. This was the biggest missing piece from your doc as far as I was concerned.. Thanks for doing that for everyone! -Steve Thanks! Will do...

This needs to be added to the OP and/or the WIKI please Not sure about the WIKI as it is today for this type of this type of documentation, it’s more focused on the unRAID system. Let’s see if gfjardim finds it usable. Would guess there are ways to improve the document once I get some feedback from the folks. At least I added a download link in my signature to start with…

That doc is great, but the beginning leaves me a bit confused still.. In the actual CREATION of the container, my options are completely different than your screenshot, and I can't get it to create through the GUI.. If I click add a container, I get what you see in the attached screenshot (Capture.JPG).. Nowhere to specify what type of container I want to create, except for the pull-down, which only includes sync and Plex as options (templates.jpg). I assume now based on your screenshot that I should have this in my pull-down? I added "https://github.com/gfjardim/docker-containers/tree/master/crashplan" to my template repositories.. is that not correct? I believe that’s correct, just try it. I believe that I mentioned in the doc that you could install the Community Applications plugin, then you just select the Docker from the list of Dockers there and start the installation without the need to figure out where to download the Docker from…

@extremeaudio, @172pilot -- I have put together a doc called "A tutorial on how to setup CrashPlan on unRAID6". It got a lot bigger than expected so you need to download it from my Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/sl1hssa0anc2k0f/A%20tutorial%20on%20how%20to%20setup%20CrashPlan%20on%20unRAID6.pdf?dl=0 This doc is based on my experiences on how to get it working and with some luck it might help others as well. Feel free to comment!

Understand your feeling… been there done that! Firstly are we talking about the CrashPlan Docker (this is the “server”) or is it the CrashPlan-Desktop Docker (this is only the “client” GUI)? I can do some screen dumps later for you if you like? I'm just talking about the crashplan server docker.. I haven't quite got my head around how the "desktop" side is supposed to work on a Linux machine without a GUI, so I'm trying to rely on my Windows machine for the GUI control of it before I open that can of worms.. Ok, will get back later...

I will try to put something together during the evening, give me some time...

That is most certainly a problem.. I haven't seen anything about a .identity file.. I will have to fix that and give it a shot - Probably not until late tonight unless I get a lull at work today.. One other related question, especially given "EXTREMEAUDIO"'s post above, is regarding HOW I was supposed to install the container in the first place (hopefully "container" is the right docker terminology??) - I can go to the docker tab in Unraid, and click "Add container" but I couldn't find any way to install the crashplan container this way, so I went and did it through SSH and the "docker run" command I detailed above, but then the container doesn't seem to want to let me view/edit the configuration from the web GUI.. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here? I'm a long time UnRaid user, but painfully new at docker! Steve Understand your feeling… been there done that! Firstly are we talking about the CrashPlan Docker (this is the “server”) or is it the CrashPlan-Desktop Docker (this is only the “client” GUI)? I can do some screen dumps later for you if you like?

Here is my setup and there are three things to do to get the CrashPlan app on the PC to talk to the server: Modify the "ui.properties" file on your client machine: #Fri Dec 09 09:50:22 CST 2005 serviceHost=192.168.1.101 <----- unRAID IP #servicePort=4243 Modify the "my.service.xml" file on your host machine: <serviceUIConfig> <serviceHost>0.0.0.0</serviceHost> <----- <servicePort>4243</servicePort> <----- <connectCheck>0</connectCheck> <showFullFilePath>true</showFullFilePath> [code]The .identity file on the server and the desktop PC needs to be the same Copy the .identity file from the CrashPlan folder /id foler on your server to your desktop PC to folder ProgramData/CrashPlan Note the .identity file is a hidden file

I fully understand you, I started with unRAID less than a year ago… I haven’t used DeltaCopy but looking on some screen dumps it looks like you might be able to use it. I can see parts of the setup, like specifying source (files to sync) and when, however I don’t see where to specify the destination. Would guess that you either browse to a share (or folder) on your unRAID system or you specify the IP and the share. Try to install it a play with it! There is probably nothing you need to setup on the unRAID side, but I haven’t tested… When you say “disk5\downloads” I assume that you have created a share named downloads on disk 5. If you would like to copy data to that share it’s better to use “user\downloads”. Edit: If the above is tricky to get working I suggest SyncBackSE instead. A lot easier to setup and the free version will do what you ask for.

I have written about how I use rsync to sync files between my two unRIAD servers here: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38554.msg358683#msg358683 It might look a bit complicated but once you understand the basics of rsync it’s not very hard to do. There are several options to back up a Windows machine to unRAID. There are many using SyncBackSE that is a windows application. I have used it myself and it is very easy to use. I know that there are some rsync clients for Windows also that might be an alternative. A third one is to use a Docker called Syncthing and a Syncthing client on the PC. I have installed it and done some testing and it looks very good but I am not running it “live” yet but this will probably be the one I will use. There are many members here that have a lot of experience on this subject so do a search as well to get some more ideas.

Can be done in the GUI, at least on 6.1-rc2.

I have been using Home automation for a number of years. The current setup is a VERA3 (MiCasa) controller with ZWave. All my wall switches are replaced with ZWave dimmers and lamps not controlled by wall switches have plug in switches or dimmers. I am also able to interface devices running on the 433 MHz band (temperature sensors) as well as controlling IR devices as well as a Harmony hub. The setup includes two wall tablets as well as remote access from my mobile. Controlling the system can also be done from my Harmony remote. Additionally the setup include door sensors, motion detectors, smoke detector, a camera as well as a power meter. The benefit of using a standalone controller is that it is relatively easy to setup, it’s a matter of configuring things through a graphical interface (more or less). However the limitations becomes obvious when you would like to do more complex things like activities that are conditionally triggered. The VERA3 will allow for some coding on your own but there are still a lot of limitations. Still the largest limitation is that you are limited to use the devices that the manufacturer has chosen to implement. It will take time before new devices are implemented (if ever) and the implementation is not always done correctly. To get the system to do what I would like it to do has been a challenge (to put it mildly!) but at the moment it does what I should do. All standalone Home automation boxes I looked at looks good when you read about them but it isn’t until you start building your system you actually find out their limitations…. And then you have already spent a fair amount of money (and time). Haven’t checked out OpenHab for a while but I guess I couldn’t resist doing it if it popped up as Docker container Just love the idea of bringing different technologies and interfaces together into one location.

Thanks for kind words (blushes… ) Volume mappings are where the Docker app expect to read data and/or store data. It’s basically the way a Docker app can communicate with the world outside the container (except for the port mappings that configures network interface for the container). Your assumption for the use of Data and the Config mappings is correct. Have a look on my setup for DelugeVPN. The mapping for /config is /mnt/user/Apps/DelugeVPN/ and is pointing at a share named Apps on my cache drive that has a sub folder DelugeVPN that contains the configuration files for Deluge as well as my VPN parameters for my VPN provider. The mapping for /data is /mnt/user/Temp/Downloads/ and is pointing at a share named Temp on my array and a sub folder Downloads that is where Deluge store my downloads. In order for Deluge to store downloads there you need to go to Preferences (in Deluge) and set Download to: /data , this way it is stored where it should be and not inside the container! How you do your mappings is depending on your setup but using a cache drive for config data is very common. Often an SSD is used as a cache drive and since some Dockers (like Plex for example) updates its data a lot and it can be done without spinning up a drive on the array, this way it will be faster and save some energy. It’s also important to set the Apps share (or what you call it) on your cache drive to Use cache disk: Only otherwise the mover will grab your files and move them to the array.

Hade a similar problem with my MB (error 15), worked ok with 2 x 8 GB but couldn’t get it to work with 4 x 8 GB. Two banks didn’t work at all. Found out that a few pins in the CPU socket had been bent when I inserted the CPU, was able to readjust them and everything came alive again.

You must have started replying before I edited my last post but I was able to get it working I just had to stop and restart the crashplan-desktop docker and it all started working. I left the my.service.xml as default and here is my ui.properties which the only change from default I made was the serviceHost IP. #Fri Dec 09 09:50:22 CST 2005 serviceHost=192.168.1.21 #servicePort=4243 #pollerPeriod=1000 # 1 second #connectRetryDelay=10000 # 10 seconds #connectRetryAttempts=3 #showWelcome=true #font.small= #font.default= #font.title= #font.message.header= #font.message.body= #font.tab= Ok fine! Good luck then…

Let’s try to get the PC client working then. Here are some notes I made for myself to get it working. Modify the "ui.properties" file on your client machine: #Fri Dec 09 09:50:22 CST 2005 serviceHost=192.168.1.101 <----- unRAID IP servicePort=4243 <----- #pollerPeriod=1000 # 1 second #connectRetryDelay=10000 # 10 seconds #connectRetryAttempts=3 #showWelcome=true http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33864.0 Modify the "my.service.xml" file on your host machine: <serviceUIConfig> <serviceHost>0.0.0.0</serviceHost> <----- <servicePort>4243</servicePort> <----- <connectCheck>0</connectCheck> <showFullFilePath>true</showFullFilePath> http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=33864.45

Have a look at this thread for a lot of good info about power supplies: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12219.0

Haven’t seen any step by step guide yet. However start with installing the CrashPlan Docker. CrashPlan is a client/server configuration and this Docker is the server part (the engine) that runs in the background. You need to configure the mappings so that CrashPlan finds your data (/data) and you also need a place to store the configuration settings (/config). If you have a cache drive configuration settings are best stored there. My mappings are: /config ---> /mnt/cache/Apps/CrashPlan/ /data ---> /mnt/user/ You need to change the /config mapping to match your system. If you use the cache drive the share you use must be set to “Use cache disk: Only” else the Mover will move it to the array. The /data mapping will give you access to the shares you have created on your system. Once done start the Docker and have a look in the log (on the Docker Container tab) to check that it is running. Next step is to install CrashPlan client on you PC or install the CrashPlan-Desktop Docker. Suggest using the Docker to start with. Install it and make sure its running. You need to connect using Remote Desktop. If you use Windows go to search and type Remote Desktop and start it. Enter the IP to your system and the port (this is my ip 192.168.1.101:3389) and then connect. You will get a login dialogue, user is Ubuntu and password is PASSWD.

Like right now. Updates are available, thanks for waiting. Many thanks for the update(s)! Tested to do a restore and that works fine now.

Same problem as others, it looks like when an update is found on the Docker page, if you click on upgrade it moves the Crashplan version to 4.2. If you uninstall the Crashplan Docker and Re-install to 3.7 this wipes out your saved cloud files and starts the backup process from the beginning. If you restart your server and manually start the Docker it appears to force the update if an update is available. App.Log in the crashplan docker folder: CPVERSION = 4.2.0 - 1425276000420 (2015-03-02T06:00:00:420+0000) - Build: 61 How do we obtain a 4.2 GUI Mate Docker? If you uninstall and reinstall you must make sure not losing your GUID for the current installation. It is possible to move installations as well as do reinstallations and at the same time keep your current backup at CrashPlan without losing any data. Make sure to check out the support pages at CrashPlan so that you understand the procedures. I am sure that the maintainer of this Docker will do an update when time permits.

You can use rsync to do this, have a look here: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38554.msg358683#msg358683 There are many other options as well...
