Crashplan for Dummies, aka Step by Step :)
I have just went through this and have seen several folks post that they wish there was an all inclusive guide, I just bought a Pro 2 and so far I am pleased with what I see under the hood (looks like...
Has anyone had issues with Crashplan auto-upgrading and completely botching their installation on the Readnas? This has happened to me twice now. I go through the setup and workarounds to get CP up and running and it works really well up until the point that CP pushes an automatic update. It's getting old really fast, and I don't think there's a way to disable auto-updates. Seems CP updates don't like what was done as far as manually changing libjna files and also using the native JRE 1.7 that I installed with apt... what ends up happening is that the update "half-completes" and leaves CP in a broken state where the /usr/local/crashplan/lib directory is completely wiped out... anyone else notice this and have a workaround?
Hi
I haven't touched mine for a long while now. I receive notifications from CP every week so it's working.
Maybe it's better if you leave the installer using its own Java. I cannot remember whether the guide is mentioning that but when I first started looking into that it seemed that Java had to be manually installed - but the setup is copying its own version instead.
Have a look if you can remove the global Java - unless you need it - and maybe that would work when it updates. Also, can you find any logs that tell you what happened?
It seems a lot of stuff was wiped out, and not much info in the logs as to what exactly happened... or maybe I just don't know how to interpret them :)
I'll have to investigate some of those things - not as familiar with Java setups in Linux and am a bit rusty since I've been away from Linux in general for a while now and only dabble in it. I'll review the steps in OP's post, as the steps I did to setup CP were probably a bit different.
