April 7, 201610 yr I just installed crashplan on another computer that is remote from my unraid box. When I log in with my creds I can see 'tower' but it shows as offline. I'll have to check if the container is running when I get home for lunch. thanks,jb
April 7, 201610 yr Just confirmed that crashplan is still running on my unraid box. It seems like the two machines can't talk to each other. They are both waiting for connection. The backup that ran was to a local drive.
April 7, 201610 yr installed the crashplan container last night. it started and I ran a backup (no idea where it went because this was my first time using it) It seems like the two machines can't talk to each other. They are both waiting for connection. Please read the OP. It has tips on backing up to a local folder and doing computer to computer backups without filling up your docker.img. It also has direct links over to the Crashplan help site with screenshots and detailed instructions for configuring Crashplan. I've installed the mobile app on my phone and logged in with the same account. But I doesn't show any devices. As far as I can tell, the mobile app only has access to data that is stored in the Crashplan cloud.
April 7, 201610 yr I'll checkout the links, but I want to make sure I'm assuming correctly. Should I be able to use the crashplan docker on unraid to be a remote backup for another PC without needing to configure my router/firewall at home? I'll stop using the mobile app because I only plan to do PC backups to the unraid box both well on the same network and remotely. thanks,jb
April 7, 201610 yr Should I be able to use the crashplan docker on unraid to be a remote backup for another PC without needing to configure my router/firewall at home? Possibly? It likely depends on how your router is setup. If you have issues see: https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/4/Troubleshooting/Connections_Between_Computers
April 9, 201610 yr I can't get started with Crashplan. I'm running 6.1.9 and Crashplan installs ok but when I start it I get a black screen which say is is logged in but won't do anything. I did exacly the same installation on a friends 6.1.9 and it installed and let me create a login into Crashplan etc. I've downloaded the Docker a number of times, I've removed it and reset the Community entry nothing gets the VNC screen to access the Crashplan site. The only clue I have is that the Docker setup screen isn't the same as the one that worked, as it has additional Container Volume entries which seem redundant (i.e. one is named UNRAID?). Has anyone a clue?
April 9, 201610 yr start the docker wait 5 minutes open the webgui copy the url of the webgui paste that url in another browser (edge for example) should work.. in my case it was solved after deinstalling kaspersky..
April 9, 201610 yr I tried the suggestion above, here is the logfile, it didn't help and the alternate browser gives the same black window! There are some errors in there but are they significant? Is this log what should be expected? The banner at the top of the Black window says connected to Crashplan but I somehow doubt I have that connection?

April 10, 201610 yr I am having trouble installing this Docker image. I am getting the following error messages. Maybe those mean something to somebody on this forum and I'd appreciate a hint on what to try next.

April 12, 201610 yr I've successfully installed Crashplan on Windows 10 and unRaid Docker. Setup the following in the docker http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20160412-f0ct-32kb.jpg[/img] Crashplan found the unRaid server with no issues, allowed me to choose that for the backup destination, and ran (really slow, at 2.3mb/s that's another issue), but I could not find any files created in the /mnt/user/Backup directory. It remained empty. Then Crashplan ran out of space at 15.9GB (I have a 16GB Flash Drive?). I've looked on the flash drive, but no unaccounted for files or directories (perhaps Crashplan deleted the backup if it couldn't complete?). I have no idea how Crashplan would determine that the /mnt/user/Backup directory would be on the flash drive but, hey, anythings possible. Crashplan on the Windows 10 64 Bit Pro client. http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20160412-5wop-62kb.jpg[/img] Any wisdom would be appreciated! Jeff...
April 12, 201610 yr Odds on it was storing the backups within the docker.img. Check to make sure the destination (I don't use crashplan, so don't know the wording) is set to /backup
April 12, 201610 yr I will try to explain: /config >> /mnt/cache/appdata/crashplan/ CrashPlan needs some place to store configuration files and logs. What the CrashPlan app can see is /config and in the example that place is located at /mnt/cache/appdata/crashplan/ and this assumes that you have a cache disk. The default location for Docker app configuration files is /mnt/cache/appdata/name_of_the_app Note that the share appdata (a top level folder) needs to be set to “Use cache disk: Only” If you don’t have a cache disk you need store the config files in a user share on your array. Mappings could look like this /config >> /mnt/user/appdata/crashplan/ /UNRAID >> /mnt/user In the CrashPlan app you will see /UNRAID and you select the user shares to backup and these are located at /mnt/user . Note that this assumes you are using user shares, not disk shares. /unassigned >> /mnt/disks This one is used if you are using disks or shares mounted by the plugin Unassigned Devices. This could for example be an USB disk or a share on another server. /backup >> /mnt/user/Backup/ This one is probably intended to be used for local backups (not to the CrashPlan cloud). /flash >> /boot I guess you added this one to be able to back up your USB stick with the unRAID OS? That’s not actually a good idea. When you back up the USB stick your array should be stopped. Best way to do this is to stop the array and make a copy and store locally on your PC. This can be done by using the file explorer in Windows (if you are using Windows...) \\your_server_name\flash I would humbly suggest that the first post in this thread be updated with the above information. The current information mentions the /config and /mnt volumes (only the former seems to exist) with nothing on the others. I did not feel comfortable even starting the container until I ran across this post that describes each of the volumes. Thank you, Leifgg!

You need to configure CrashPlan to use the /backup directory you passed in.

Interesting, I didn't realize those default paths had been added to the XML. I'll suggest some updated text for the OP to gfjardim.

April 14, 201610 yr Can someone answer this two questions? /backup >> /mnt/user/Backup/ This one is probably intended to be used for local backups (not to the CrashPlan cloud). If I'm not gonna use local backups, can I simply delete the Backup share CrashPlan has created in my system? I don't like to have shares I don't use. Please read the OP. It has tips on backing up to a local folder and doing computer to computer backups without filling up your docker.img. It also has direct links over to the Crashplan help site with screenshots and detailed instructions for configuring Crashplan. Where aro those manuals? Are you referring to the CP site or are there any other? https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/4 Thankyou Gus

April 15, 201610 yr How much ram does the crashplan docker use max? And is there an easy way to increase it?

The Q&A portion of that post contains a section titled "Q) Can another computer backup to my unRAID array?" which has the basics to get you started and then links you over to specific pages on the CrashPlan site for more details.
April 19, 201610 yr I can't get started with Crashplan. I'm running 6.1.9 and Crashplan installs ok but when I start it I get a black screen which say is is logged in but won't do anything I quit using Crashplan and this docker image awhile ago because it became too much work. Tried it again today (as I need to start backing up again) and thought "This is awesome!". Everything came up, vnc client worked, perfect. Then I assigned a VNC password with the variable, restart the docker image, and I now have a black screen. The Crashplan splash screen stated "upgrading" prior to the black screen of death so maybe I just have unbelievably bad timing and Crashplan has updated their software in the last hour. Either way, I also have the black screen but I like what has been done with the docker image. Ok, reinstalled and everything worked. Crashplan once again upgraded itself and now I'm back to the black screen. Now I remember why I quit using this.
April 19, 201610 yr Try to open the webgui of crashplan using Edge... Guessing you are using Chrome or Internet Explorer ? Maybe using Kaspersky as a virus scanner ?
April 19, 201610 yr Try to open the webgui of crashplan using Edge... Guessing you are using Chrome or Internet Explorer ? Maybe using Kaspersky as a virus scanner ? It's not the browser but the update of Crashplan on UnRaid. I have tried three different browsers and two different VNC clients. All black screen. It's the update of the Crashplan application that is causing the problem. Not sure exactly what the issue is as there are few errors in /mnt/user/appdata/CrashPlan/log/upgrade.1435813200460_403.1461089974843.log. I assume that updating the application is still not supported without updating the docker image.
April 20, 201610 yr As far as I understand it is never a good idea to update the app itself.. Is that what happened? Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

I removed the auto update functionality until I can fix it, so please update.
