Well, let’s hope that some developer excepts the challenge. I am running CrashPlan in an Ubuntu VM and that works fine but there is still a lot of work to get it working in a container and there is no guarantee that an update to a new version doesn’t require some work to get it working again depending on what changes CrashPlan actually implements.

Normal behavior is that when connecting to CrashPlan Desktop container trough RDP and login the CrashPlan GUI would start automatically. Post screenshots of the configuration page with the settings for both containers with Advanced View enabled.

Just a clarification about these two containers, they are actually both version 4.4.1 but as soon as the CrashPlan container starts and connects to CrashPlan it will get updated to the latest version that is 4.5.2. If you just wait until the update of the CrashPlan container is done you will be able to connect with CrashPlan Desktop container (still on version 4.1.1). Be a bit patient, it might take 15 minutes or so. To get the CrashPlan Desktop container to auto update is probably not as easy since this this is most likely a subset of the CrashPlan app (that contains both the server and the client) so it’s probably a lot of manual work to strip out the code and adopting it for use with the CrashPlan Desktop container. One possible solution might be a new Container containing both the server and client that could replace these two containers. With some luck it might be easier to have that configuration to auto update without any interaction from the maintainer of the container.

Are you using Disk shares since you are using /mnt/disk1/ as your mount point? If you are using User shares it should be /mnt/user/ Regardless of this, if there is a share on disk1 you should be able to see it. If you go to Shares (using the unRAID GUI) your share should be visible there and you can use View to verify that the share really is located on the disk you believe it should be. I checked to rights for some of my shares and they have Owner:nobody, Group:users, permissions:0777 Regarding the difficulties with your Windows client connecting to the CrashPlan container I believe that you should check your settings one more time. The most important parts are on page 9 and 10 in the Guide.

Hello, sorry I missed your response last week. I'm really not trying to use Windows to backup my system as it is on a Mac. I just downloaded the Windows RD from the App store but am having difficulty getting it to connect to CrashPlan (not via "named" or 10.0.0.55:3389). In reviewing your setup there is only minimal reference to a Mac. If the Windows RD for Mac is not the best, please advise, otherwise are there any settings that I am missing in order to use CrashPlan. Dave Sorry, not using a Mac so I have no advice on what Remote Desktop client to use. My guess that it would be similar as on Windows. Just enter the IP, but depending on the client you might need to specify protocol and/or the port as well.

Yes I know what the article is for, I'm literate. I tried the crashplan desktop container and when I connected to the crashplan container on the same machine, the crashplan service would crash. Every single time. Which I had stated already. I used the tutorial I had linked to connect the crashplan on my unraid box using the crashplan UI on my desktop to configure the former. I do apologise but I might not understand your configuration correctly. What I recommend is to use the CrashPlan container and the CrashPlan Desktop container only, just to get you up and running. If you later would like to use the (CrashPlan) client on your PC instead of the CrashPlan Desktop container that will also work. When you say its crashing, can you post a screen dump so that we can have a look on it?

The article you refer to is related to on how to use CrashPlan on your server and use CrashPlan (as a client) on a computer to monitor and configure CrashPlan on the server. This is not applicable if you intend to use the CrashPlan container and the CrashPlan Desktop container. If you have the CrashPlan container and the CrashPlan Desktop containers installed on your server, you should connect with a Remote Desktop Client to the CrashPlan Desktop container to manage the CrashPlan container. Have a look on the guide in my signature.

That’s not as bad as it sounds. You can disable Docker and the delete the old docker.img file and create a new img file. Add your containers again by using User defined templates, these contains all your settings so there is no need to redo any configuration work.

I am not an expert on these log files but I don’t see any errors. It just looks different since you probably never been able to login and configure CrashPlan. You should be able to get the CrashPlan Desktop container started and to connect to it with Remote Desktop regardless if the CrashPlan container is running or not. You should be able to access the login screen and get to the CrashPlan splash screen.

Just check me so that I understand what you are trying to do (this looks complicated… ) First question. So you have the CrashPlan container and the CrashPlan Desktop container running on unRAID with IP 10.0.0.55 and want to access it from Windows that is running in a VM on your Mac (on the same network and subnet)? Second question, is the Windows VM on your Mac also is on the same network and subnet so it can reach unRAID? Third question is, are you using Microsoft Remote Desktop Client on Windows to connect to the CrashPlan Desktop container? Fourth question, why aren’t you using a Remote Desktop Client on your MAC to connect to the CrashPlan Desktop container? Can’t you find any client that is able to connect to the remote desktop server (xrdp) that is used for the CrashPlan Desktop container?

If you are on Windows use Microsoft Remote Desktop client to connect to the CrashPlan Desktop container. You only need to enter the IP to your server. It will connect on port 3389 using the Remote Desktop Protocol. You can use other clients as well but there might be some configuration work to do. The client you use must be able to connect to the remote desktop server (xrdp) that is used for the CrashPlan Desktop container.

Not sure I understand what Dropbox has to do with this… See the pic for the log I am talking about.

There are changes needed both on your Windows client as well as the configuration on unRAID. Check the Guide in my signature on page 9. The 4.5.2 client should be able to connect to the Docker container 4.4.1 A good start (and a lot easier) is to use the CrashPlan container with the CrashPlan Desktop container just to get it running and later switch to the Windows client if you like that better.

There is a support thread here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=32457.0 Better to post questions there Also check the Log for DeugeVPN (on the Docker page) to see what it says.

IMDB Even if the if the naming isn’t correct the movie it should show up but probably not matched or with incorrect match as long it’s in the correct folder and mappings are ok.

Remote desktop client failing, CrashPlan Desktop container and Mac. Regarding the CrashPlan Desktop container and Mac I have got that question before but I was not able to solve that (see a few posts up #614) At least there seems to be a problem related to using Microsoft Remote Desktop client on Mac connecting to the xrdp server used in the CrashPlan Desktop container. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/414827ef-15b8-444c-99b3-2d9ed8286850/mac-rdp-client-to-linux-xrdp-issues?forum=winRDc I don’t have any solution other than let Google find another remote desktop client that can connect to the xrdp server

I assume that you have the Plex Web GUI (http://your.unraid.ip:32400) working and that you are logged in to your Plex account. From what I can see in previous posts your mapping is /media -> /mnt/user/Apple/MK4-MKV Movies/ so your files should be located in the folder MK4-MKV Movies Check the Plex Web GUI under Libraries, have you created a library for Movies? If not, create one for Movies and Add folders and browse the folder media and add that one.

Have you named your files according to Plex recommendations: http://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200381023-Naming-Movie-files

Yupp! At least that’s my personal opinion… It makes life a lot easier for you if you find one that fits your needs. Suggest downloading the free version of SyncBackSE and try it out first. CrashPlan is ok but what they are good at is cloud backup and that’s what their app really is designed for in the first place. Local backups using a free account also have a number of limitations that you also should check.

Understand but these changes disable the possibility to backup folders from your PC.

You haven’t made any changes at all to the Windows client as it is described on the Guide?

Ok, I think I understand the problem a bit better now. I believe that you have installed the CrashPlan Windows client to our PC and made the changes as described in the doc so that it can connect to the CrashPlan container running on unRAID. The problem with this is that CrashPlan installation on your PC only connects to the CrashPlan container installed on unRAID. It’s basically only used as an GUI to control and monitor backups done on unRAID. It does the same work as the CrashPlan Desktop container does. This configuration will not allow you to backup files from your PC to unRAID since the Windows client doesn’t use the CrashPlan server on your PC and it will not see the files on your PC. There is information on the CrashPlan support pages on setting up backup between two computers that involves setting up CrashPlan on your PC without making any changes to the configuration. You will have the CrashPlan container installed on unRAID together with the CrashPlan Desktop container in order to setup CrashPlan on unRAID. Technically it should be possible but I believe that you need CrashPlan on Windows and unRAID using the same account. Alternatively, you might be able to map a network drive on Windows and only use the Windows client. One disadvantage is that your backup is a compressed backup archive that only can be restored using CrashPlan. I prefer using SyncBackSE to do backups from the Windows client to unRAID. A lot easier to setup and maintain.

Post screen shoots on the settings for both the CrashPlan container and the CrashPlan Desktop container and make sure to enable to enable Advanced View. Are you making local backups (not to the CrashPlan cloud)?

Have a look on the DelugeVPN Docker container, that should fit your needs.

If you are using the needo container just force an update of the container a see if it downloads the latest version 0.9.15.1 I am not sure if you need do set any parameters or not to get the Plex Pass release with this container. The premium features is connected to your account (not a specific release) so make sure that you are logged in with your Plex account.
