I need to move my Crashplan Docker from TOWER2 to TOWER.

TOWER currently has NO dockers in it. 

 

Is the best way to do this:  

TOWER2: Go to Settings -> Docker -> Enable Docker, and set to No, then click the Apply button  (this disables Docker support)
Move from TOWER2 to TOWER: Using mc or any file manager or the command line, move docker.img to the desired location (/mnt/cache/docker.img is recommended)
TOWER1:   In Settings -> Docker, change the path for Docker image to the exact location you just copied to (likely no change is needed if copied to the same location on TOWER)
TOWER1:  Now set Enable Docker to Yes, and click the Apply button again  (re-enabling Docker support)

The Why:  

 

Step 1 - SSH as root into Tower2 and give Crashplan Docker Config nobody read/write

cd /mnt/user/appdata  
chown -R 999:users CrashPlan
chmod -R 777 CrashPlan
 

Step 2 - Install Krusader docker, and mount Tower2 and Tower1 Appdata & docker image locations on left and right panes respectively.

Copy over Appdata/Crashplan

Copy over Docker/Image

 

Step 3 - enable docker

Config moved over... however icons are gone and webgui does not autolaunch

....

Manually typing into a browser... and all looks good!

Step 4 --- after CrashPlan is happy with the 'syncronizing block info'... going to have to 

1 - disable the docker, delete the docker image, and re-enable it as I have a warning about needing to do so or risk corruption

2 - will need to re-download CrashPlan docker... hope that this goes smoothly

3 - will need to re-increase the CP memory allocation

4 - will need to re-enable autostart

 

lets also hope that I get the ability to easily launch the web-gui from within the docker icon... and that the icon itself returns!

I think you just need to create a docker image on the new server, copy across the old appdata folder and then install the docker via CA with the same options

You are right DZMM... the initial copied Appdata & Docker.IMG ended up requiring a 9 day sync... so I killed the docker image and added it back with the same mappings /settings.   No login was needed to Crashplan, so the appdata folder was adequate.   I checked online and the older data was NOT killed, so that makes me happy

 

 

Glad it worked.  Dockers are very easy to handle and the CA backup script is very good to prevent any mishaps as it's very easy to restore dockers.

 

 

I have the CA backup script on now

 

Thanks DZMM! 

 

In this process I also discovered Krusader!   I LOVE this over SSH/Screen/MC (Midnight Commander)
