Crashplan

[CruzeDude]

Hello everyone,

I've been wanting to set up an offsite backup service since I set up my NAS over 3 years ago. I just now have stumbled upon some people who say they have Crashplan working on NAS4Free.

I have been googling like crazy and I can't seem to find anything on how to install Crashplan in a jail. I was wondering if anyone would share how it is done?

Thanks in advance!

I got the back end of this running using two blog posts, one of which is now defunct so I've linked the one that's still live:

Note that this version of Nas4Free (which I am still running) is now deprecated and therefore YMMV. It should hopefully get you going down the right road, however.


You then have to connect via the software on the front end. It's not intuitive, but pretty straightforward to set up. I'm sure you can google around a bit and find relevant info. (There's probably a tutorial that you can use for that part over at the FreeNAS forums).


Finally, note this useful tidbit if you are using ZFS and datasets:

Good luck!
