CrashPlan performance
Just got up and running with CrashPlan on my PRO 6, and was wondering what upload speeds people are seeing. So far I am generally seeing between 5 and 12 mbps (much slower than my internet uplink)....

I meant to post a response to this earlier, your on the right track, the key that is posted on crashplan site is to change the deduplication to minimal, you shouldn't have to adjust the compression, but from what I have read the deduplication is the culprit. Once the inital files are copied you can turn the deduplication back up to normal here is one write up - http://www.technazgul.com/2011/01/crashplan-backup-configurationspeed.html
If I am reading it correctly, at the top of the article in italics, the note says that the dedup issue was fixed as of 3.03. So I'm not sure if it still applies. I'm sure it's still a CPU hog though.
