This same value should also be seen in /mnt/user/appdata/CrashPlanPRO/log/engine_output.log. The figures in both areas are showing as correct. Is there anything else I can look at to try to resolve this? Quote Link to comment

I get very slow write speeds to a local disk (call it disk A), it typically writes at 1GB/hr (similar to the upload speed I get to Crashplan Central). I have another disk that is used for the same backup sets as disk A (call it disk B). Data is written to both disk and they are alternated and stored offsite when not in use. Disk A takes about 2 days to sync when I add and mount it in Unraid, disk B takes about 12-15 hours to do the same operation. I'm not sure of the write speeds of disk B, but it is substantially quicker that disk A. Both disk are 4TB, disk B is newer though, having recently replaced a faulty (clicking) drive that was the same model and batch as Disk A. The data stored on disk B is only about 10% less that the data stored on disk A. Disk A is not showing any errors on SMARTs, but I understand that the tests are not always reliable.

grantt Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hi I keep getting emails saying my Crashplan hasn't backed up for xx days. Checking via the docker gui it clearly is. There's an update, but this will not install. I assume it's due to this newer version not being installed (is this correct?). Any fix for this? Thanks Quote Link to comment

See this post: TL;DR increase the limit using the tips n tweaks plugin. There's no magic number, so don't ask for one. The bigger it is, the more RAM you'll need. However, I have mine set to 2097152 (16 GB RAM, no VMs) and it works well for the number of files I"m backing up (and also Plex).

Thanks Try restarting the Docker. I believe that should have it upgrade to the latest version (I may be confusing it with another Docker though). If it doesn't upgrade, try a 'force upgrade' in advanced settings (the toggle switch at the top of the Docker page). Quote Link to comment

I had some system problems around the beginning of the month and now that i'm stable again, I keep seeing "Synchronizing block information" but it climbs to 100% then just starts over. It looks like i changed the memory in the RIGHT place 😉 a few days ago to 3072 from 2048 which had been working fine. or did you just let it sit and after a LONG time it finally got itself all synced up and is working correctly?

If you've confirmed that your max memory variable is set correctly (see earlier in the thread for the command in CrashPlan that allows you to check), then that's all I had to do to solve my problems. FWIW I'm using 4096 MB memory and backing up 3.6 TB. Most of the time the Docker only uses around 1 GB, but it may have climbed during sync and I missed it (which may be why mine was resetting), so if you can spare the memory, might as well set it high. If you've set the memory correctly, try reaching out to Crashplan support, too - the can take a look at the logs and see if your block sync is failing for another reason. Quote Link to comment
Jagadguru Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) How do I turn off backup but let Crashplan still run to complete the local maintenance? Otherwise it does maintenance for a little bit and then backs up for a little bit and then does synchronization for 9 hrs in a loop. This has been going on for 25 days. Thanks again for the docker!

Gnomuz Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hi, I think a new version is available, as my logs have been mentioning unsuccessful upgrade attempts for ~18 hours. Quote Link to comment
Gbcue Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Same. Mine is showing update available in the app, checking/stopping-starting the Docker doesn't do the upgrade. Quote Link to comment

Hawkins12 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Crashplan help necessary. I just got the Crashplan Pro 30 day trial and installed the docker. Able to access the docker fine (most of the time) and the scan revealed about 1.6 TB of data to back up (this is accurate). Backup starts but then stops randomly and without warning or notification. When I log on to crashplan (via my account on Chrome), it shows my Unraid Server as "offline". I restart the docker, server then shows up as online and begins transferring data again. After some random period of time (generally less than an hour), it'll show up as "Offline" again. When this happens, I often cannot log into the Docker GUI either. What causes the server to keep going offline sporadically? I didnt change any docker settings form the defaults. I just added the maximum memory to be 4GB's (something I didnt do before). Could this be the issue? It's going to take forever to upload my 1.6TB at this rate. I noticed in my logs that I keep getting things like this -- have no idea why it keeps randomly "disconnecting" from backup destination: 08/12/21 10:55PM [Unraid Server Backup Set] Starting backup to CrashPlan PRO Online: 464,907 files (1.70TB) to back up 08/13/21 12:22AM [Unraid Server Backup Set] Stopped backup to CrashPlan PRO Online in 1h:26m:31s: 2 files (19.60GB) backed up, 3.60GB encrypted and sent @ 4.7Mbps (Effective rate: 13Mbps) 08/13/21 12:22AM - Reason for stopping backup: The backup destination was disconnected 08/13/21 12:43AM [Unraid Server Backup Set] Stopped backup to CrashPlan PRO Online in 0h:20m:28s: 1 file (20.20GB) backed up, 303.90MB encrypted and sent @ 9.4Mbps (Effective rate: 13.8Mbps) 08/13/21 12:43AM - Reason for stopping backup: The backup destination was disconnected Thanks in advance!

So I left it running all night while I slept. Looks like some progress was made but at these rates, it'll take a month to upload 1.6TB. Here is a history of the last 8.5 hrs. You can see I had a pretty good clip there (222 mbps) but outside of that, it has been a slow go. Also, below are my settings -- it seems I am allocating enough RAM to it for the size/storage space I am trying to back up Edited August 13, 2021 by Hawkins12 update Quote Link to comment

On top of my post above, I seem to have a lot of trouble with the docker and connecting to the GUI. My chrome is updated and when I go to the GUI port, I get this: The GUI does open in Edge but that is not my preferred browser (if I can help it). The other oddity I noticed is that when I log on to Crashplan from the GUI, I see this: However, when I log onto my crash plan account via a web browser, it shows me this: which indicates a lot more stored data vs. what the gui shows. Are these issues unique to me? Quote Link to comment

Are these issues unique to me? May the "completed" number is since the backup started? I.e. if you restart CrashPlan, will it still show 40GB completed, or it will restart from 0 ?

Djoss Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 BTW, CrashPlan backup speed is known to be slow. So expect multiple days/weeks to upload 1.7TB. Quote Link to comment

I deleted the big backup set and broke it into 3 or 4 different backup sets (based on type of data). Seems to be workign fine but as you said, VERY SLOW. Quote Link to comment
Crunklydunks Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Has the container been updated to the latest version? I've checked for updates and it says the docker is up to date but I'm still getting errors updating, and I've been getting emails saying that I haven't backed up in awhile, even though it does seem I am plugging away at my initial backup (of several terabytes) still. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Thanks again, everyone, for your help. Well, not anymore. I'm having the same problem of 'synchronizing file information' endlessly looping. I'm about ready to chuck in the towel with crashplan and just install another Unraid box at a friend's house and run an rsync once a week. Quote Link to comment
