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...
OK CrashPlan updated to 4.3.0 and now my Windows 7 GUI will not connect.
The fix:
1)Make sure Windows 7 GUI is 4.3 and make sure it is not running when you are doing the steps below:
2) Copy your .ui_info from your nas to your desktop:
a) .ui_info on NAS is probably located /var/lib/crashplan (unless you changed it from the default when installing i.e.
What directory do you wish to store backups in? [/usr/local/var/crashplan])
b) .uni_info on your desktop is located C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan. (Rename your old .uni_info to .uni_info.orig)
EDIT: Configure your ui.properies file on you PC appropriately. i.e. sevice port should be 4200 if you are using ssh to tunnel or service host should be changed to your NAS ip adresss if you made the proper changes in the my.service.xml file on you nas.
3) Start up Crashplan 4.3 on your desktop.
Done !
