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...
Here is something for anyone who has experienced problems with a full OS partition (i.e. when things are no longer working as they should and NASMON* displays "Disk Usage: / 100% (4.0G)" in the top righthand corner) or who would like to avoid it: :arrow: do not accept the default install directory for the crashplan cache:
When my OS partition was full a couple of days ago and I had to let Netgear support fix it via remote access, the technician told me that the reason for the full OS partition was that a process called "crashplan" was writing cache files (a total of 2.7 GB) into /usr/local/crashplan, causing the root partition to fill up.
Unfortunately, I'm not an expert with servers (I don't even know exactly which directories are located in the root partition), so before I start fiddling around with things, I'd like to ask here:
:?: What other directory would be appropriate? Does the install directory affect the functioning of crashplan at all?
:?: What can I do now that I already installed crashplan according to the instructions given in this thread? Can I somehow move the installation or do I need to uninstall and re-install completely?
Cheers,
Christoph

What directory do you wish to install CrashPlan to? [/usr/local/crashplan]
