#CARGOLIFTER ARTIST CONCEPLTION UPDATE#No problem – just manually update the jail: su - # if not already rootĬd /usr/pbi/crashplan-amd64/share/crashplan The current problem we face is that the plugin is only version 3.6.3_1, and that’s way behind the exiting GUI version of 4.7, and there are compatibility issues.

Sarlacc# jexec 1 /]# Configure SSH in the Plugin Jail #CARGOLIFTER ARTIST CONCEPLTION INSTALL#I also like to install bash with “ pkg install bash” and then log out and back into the jail under bash: sarlacc# jlsġ - crashplan_1 /mnt/volume1/jails/crashplan_1ģ - plexmediaserver_1 /mnt/volume1/jails/plexmediaserver_1Ĥ - sabnzbd_1 /mnt/volume1/jails/sabnzbd_1 Pkg update # gets the latest list of files I usually run the following for any new jail to get it up to date: pkg clean # clean out old cache Mapped like this – you can only trash your backups, and not the source. It makes sense to only map your source files as read-only as I have done here – no need to give CrashPlan more permissions than it needs to do its job, and safeguards the files in case something goes drastically wrong. Now I just have a backup set to back up my “RAW files” and “Calalogs”, which are contained within my “/software/photography”, as I didn’t want to create another dataset just for those two. I initially decided to use CrashPlan to back up all my files (software, multimedia and music) to my external drive, but I found that too slow. “volume1” is my raid array volume, and “lacie” is an external 12TB USB3.0 drive volume. You’ll find detailed instructions on this on the FreeNAS documentation homepage. Install the CrashPlan plugin jail by going to “Plugins > Available” and then highlighting “CrashPlan” and then clicking the “Install” button.Īfter it has installed, map the files you want to back up into the jail under “View Jails > Storage”. Setup you jail configuration, if you haven’t already. Luckily it uses TCP ports, so we can hack the configuration in order to get it to connect to a remote (headless) machine. The Client app is designed to connect to an engine on the local machine and not on a remote machine. The client just checks the engine status, and is used to configure it. The engine runs continuously and backs up even when the client isn’t running. Brilliant! About Running CrashPlan “Headless”ĬrashPlan has two basic parts – the CrashPlan application, and the CrashPlan engine. CrashPlan refused to touch the files on the mapped network drive! I then to take the plunge and move the CrashPlan engine to my NAS, and do back ups from there. I had a rude shock though when it came to backing up with CrashPlan running on my PC, and having my work files on a mapped network drive. Instead of putting a RAID array inside my PC, or directly attaching a RAID array to it using USB or Thunderbolt (called a “DAS” for “directly attached”), I realised I didn’t need to spend money when I already have a perfectly good RAID box already – my NAS running FreeNAS! I realised that I needed my photo files on a RAID array so that I don’t lose everything in case of a single disk failure. I used to have these files on a single hard drive inside my computer – dangerous! I back up about 400 Gigabytes of photo RAW files and Lightroom (LR) catalogs to the cloud using CrashPlan. ![]()
