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...
Sorry I was not clear enough.
If I am away and I want to check how's Crashplan is doing, I should port forward port 4200 in my router to be able to access my NAS. Using putty instead I can SSH into my ReadyNAS (port 22 already enabled for remote diagnosis), open a tunnel and control CrashPlan this way.
To be honest, maybe this is a not needed contraption, the best way would be to port forward port 4200. I just thought it was easier - and after all I guess that the lesser the open ports the better?
Do you think I should remove the procedure completely? Why it is on CrashPlan support site then?
I still have a couple of questions though:
1. The JAVA path I used. It seems wrong to me. Isn't there a global path which is not linked to a specific version?
2. Will JAVA update on its own?
3. Will CP update on its own?
4. Max file number: on my system (4.2.26) it already says 8192. I guess that I won't need to change that, I reckon Netgear changed the value on a following release?
5. Virtual Memory: I believe my system is already ok, again I reckon CP changed it. What I have is the below, will that need to be amended? I thought that the GUI wouldn't apply in my case.
Thx
