CrashPlan Cheat Sheet and Tweaks

lBelow are Command Codes, Tweaks and info on CrashPlan.

If you need me to add any more or if something changes feel free to let me know and I will adjust it.

#As of CrashPlan 4.2, CrashPlan will install their Java to run with their software on you NAS. There is no need to install a new Java on your whole NAS. (In other words EJREInstaller-0.20-readynas-x86.bin by MinimServer is not needed for this install anymore).
#In /usr/local/crashplan/install.vars the JAVACOMMON=/usr/local/crashplan/jre/bin/java.
#CrashPlan tests their software with that specific Java. (Unless you want to do their Quality Assurance for them on a new Java :) )
#If the EJRE addon is already installed on your system DO NOT UNINSTALL IT, it is still needed globally and as per MinimServer.

Uninstalling the Java runtime To remove the EJRE installation from your ReadyNAS, remove the EJRE Installer add-on. This removes the installed EJRE files, but doesn't remove the original EJRE .tar.gz file from the backup share.

#Seeing What Port NAS is Listening to.
netstat -na | grep LISTEN | grep 42

#Return code should look something like this:
tcp6 0 0 :::4242 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::ffff:YOUR.NAS.IP.ADDRESS:4243 :::* LISTEN

#Starting,Stopping CrashPlan.
#/usr/local/crashplan/bin/
./CrashPlanEngine stop
./CrashPlanEngine status
./CrashPlanEngine start
./CrashPlanEngine restart

OR

/etc/init.d/crashplan [same options as above]

#Unpacking CrashPlan to install.
#/root/
tar -xvf CrashPlan_4.3.0_Linux.tgz
#(4.3.0 change to package number you are installing)

#Installing and Uninstalling CrashPlan (This will not uninstall your .ui_info or .identity file).
#/root/CrashPlan-install/
./CrashPlan-install/install.sh
./CrashPlan-install/uninstall.sh -i /usr/local/crashplan/

#/usr/local/crashplan/conf/my.service.xml
<serviceHost>YOUR.NAS.IP.ADDRESS</serviceHost>

OR

#To have CrashPlan listen on all network interfaces and thus accepting GUI connections from any computer on your home network.
<serviceHost>0.0.0.0</serviceHost>

#"If Watch file system in real time" is not working CrashPlan suggested changes so that it works on a NAS.
#/etc/sysctl.conf
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576

#Increasing Memory Value to CrashPlan Engine.
#Go to CrashPlan on PC and Double Click Home Icon in Upper Right Hand Corner
#Value should be in memory increments of 64, increasing value too high will stop CrashPlan from running. The upper limit on my NAS PRO Business is 3072 and I have 8 GB of Ram installed.
java mx "value"
OR
#Stop CrashPlan
#Edit /usr/local/crashplan/bin/run.conf in SRV_JAVA_OPTS change "-Xmx3072m" to desired value.
#Start CrashPlan

#Configuring CrashPlan Backup set to Exclude all Directories Named "Recycle Bin".
#Located in Settings-Backup-File exclusions:-Configure (Make sure "Regular Expressions" is checked).
./*Recycle Bin.*

#CrashPlan updated to 4.3.0 and now my Windows 7 GUI will not connect.
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) .ui_info on your desktop is located C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan. (Rename your old .ui_info to .ui_info.orig)
3) Configure your ui.properies file on you PC appropriately. i.e. service port should be 4200 if you are using ssh to tunnel or service host should be changed to your NAS ip address if you made the proper changes in the my.service.xml file on you NAS.
4) Start up CrashPlan 4.3 on your desktop.

#Another way to check if the CrashPlan service is running in your PC.
ps auxww |grep -i CrashPlanService

#Return code should be something like this:
