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 guys. So I followed the instructions and installed the EJRE Java before realising that I didn't need to. Then I installed Crashplan which I don't think installed the Java itself because presumably it was already there. Crashplan seems to have installed OK.
However, when I go to start Crashplan on the NAS using CrashplanEngine, it seems to start and then stops again straight away. I'm guessing it doesn't start as it can't run/find the Java as I haven't changed the default Java path yet.
So my questions are:
(i) Should I uninstall both Java and Crashplan and start again. Then presumably Crashplan will install it's own Java?
(ii) How do I do this? or
(ii) Should I stick with the global Java and get it to work with Crashplan?
Re restoring Java to what it was before the EJRe install. Was Java even installed on the NAS before? Maybe not needed normally.
