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 am still using it, and am happy with the service. Though I did need to increase the pro's memory to 2 GB a while back - as the number of files on the NAS grows, Crashplan needs more memory. Note I am using it for disaster recovery, I don't think I'd trust any cloud service to be my only backup.
Crashplan does have a "seeded backup" program (http://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/Lat ... ded_Backup). They send you the disk, and the capacity limit is 1 TB (anything more than that is backed up over the internet after the initial seeding). It was fairly expensive, and it wouldn't have saved me any time anyway (given the 5-7 day shipping in each direction). So I didn't use it. How much data do you have?
I don't know of any community add-on. One of my PCs has the client installed, and I use putty to connect the PC client with the pro. Though most of the time I just use putty/ssh to view the tail of the backup log ("tail /usr/local/crashplan/log/backup_files.log.0 -n 100" works nicely).
Crashplan is written in java, so there is no way to avoid installing it.
