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 debian to me, kernel 2.6.37) I'm a *nix guy so I thought I would try to make an all inclusive step-by-step to help anyone that might want to try and install crashplan. So here goes, the normal warning goes here - There are no warranties implied or otherwise, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you find any thing that needs to be updated or doesn't make sense please post and let me know... I am not the only one to post how to do this see here - http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=18139&start=15#p297737 and here http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/configure_a_headless_client Steps for x86 ReadyNas Only: Old way,still works but uses java 6, which is out of date: 1. See Step one below 2. See Step two below 3. See Step three below 4. Once logged onto your readynas as "root" your ready to get the the software setup. Keep in mind that when you are running as root, you have elevated priviliges and you can do anything you want, including messing things up, so go slow and take your time :) - First thing we need to do is edit the sources.list, we are going to use vi which is not a friendly editor but is installed on any base *nix system and in this case will get the job done. Lets edit the file, at the prompt - vi /etc/apt/sources.list, arrow down to the last line and then arrow over to the last letter and hit the "a" button for append and then hit "enter" to get a new line and then paste "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports etch-backports main non-free" . - To get out of vi and save the file "shift:" will get you the colon prompt at the bottom, then to save and exit enter "x", if you made a mistake and you do not want to save your work at the colon enter "q!" and that will quit without saving any changes. Once you exit and save your sources list should look like this, "more /etc/apt/sources.list" - deb http://www.readynas.com/packages 4.2.19/ deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports etch-backports main non-free 5. Now we need to update our package list and install Java. - enter "apt-get update" - Now we need to modify configuration dialog selection so we can accept the java Terms and conditions. - enter "dpkg-reconfigure debconf" This will ask you to select a dialong frontend, select option 1 - Dialog, then it will ask you for the level, select option 3 - Medium. - Now lets install java, enter "apt-get install sun-java6-jre", it will download the package and start to install it where it will ask for you to accept the terms and conditions, select yes and complete the installation. - Modify the deb configuration and change it back, enter "dpkg-reconfigure debconf" This will ask you to select a dialong frontend, select option 6 - Noninteractive, then it will ask you for the level, select option 3 - Medium (not sure if this was the default). Updated JAVA install, credit goes to InterClaw :) The full instructions can be found here - http://minimserver.com/ejre-installer.html I will try to list just the steps for x86 ReadyNas: 1. Go to Oracle and down load the latest embeeded java version l@@k for this version - x86 Linux Small Footprint – Headless - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/embedded/downloads/javase/index.html *Note you will have to accept Oracles Terms and Conditions and create an account to download the file 2. Download file and copy the java file to /c/backup/ on your ReadyNas 3. Download the EJRE Readynas Addon see the link above for the full instructions, the addon can be found here - http://minimserver.com/downloads/EJREInstaller-0.10-readynas-x86.bin 4. Install EJRE Addon and this will install the java version that you placed in /c/backup/ 5. Verify that java is working, time to jump to the command line to finish the installation. Install the Enable Root SSH addon - http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86.bin Complete installation by rebooting your readynas. 6. You will need to get a ssh client for your desktop/laptop, here is one for winblows (putty) - http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe, nothing to install, just download and place on your desktop or somewhere you can find it. 7. Open putty and SSH into your readynas, enter the IP address and when it prompts for username enter "root" and then your normal raidar/frontpage "password". Once logged in verify java operation by entering the following : java -version 8. Now we can install Crashplan. - Download the latest linux crashplan version enter "wget the latest version that is listed on crashplan for linux, see below" Here is the main download page, just make sure you get the latest version - http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/download.html?os=Linux, this will download andplace this in your root directory. 9. Once the diownload has completed lets extract the files which are tarred and zipped. enter "tar -xvf CrashPlan_3.0.3_Linux.tgz" or whichever version you downloaded, this will extract all of the files and place them in a folder called "CrashPlan-install". enter "cd "CrashPlan-install" and then run the installer, enter "./install.sh", this will start the installer ask for you to accept the terms and conditions and ask questions where to install etc..You can accept the defaults for most, however when it prompts you for the default crashplan backup directory, you can go with the default or provide a directory that you have already established for that purpose, e.g., "/crash-backup" whatever your share that you created without any slashes, this actual is a pointer to "crash-backup -> /c/crashplan-backup" Here are the questions, most you accept the defaults, in this case I chose to specify a different Directory - Do you accept and agree to be bound by the EULA? (yes/no) yes What directory do you wish to install CrashPlan to? [/usr/local/crashplan] What directory do you wish to link the CrashPlan executable to? [/usr/local/bin] What directory do you wish to store backups in? [/usr/local/var/crashplan] /crash-backup What directory contains your SYSV init scripts? [/etc/init.d] What directory contains your runlevel init links? [/etc/rc2.d] Your selections: CrashPlan will install to: /usr/local/crashplan And put links to binaries in: /usr/local/bin And store datas in: /crash-backup Your init.d dir is: /etc/init.d Your current runlevel directory is: /etc/rc2.d Is this correct? (y/n) [y] y 10. Configure crashplan on the readynas, in order to do this you need to download and install crashplan on a local PC, using linux, winblows or Mac - http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/download.html once that has been done we need to tunnel from the PC to the readynas, the already have this detailed on the crashplan site called a headless install - http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/configure_a_headless_client *Note while configuring the Crashplan client -the client will show your shares twice - as links (with an arrow as part of the icon) and under the "C" folder. It won't back up the links, you need to select the folders under the "C" folder. If you try the other way, the backup "succeeds", but doesn't back anything up. Thanks to StephenB for this update! Once the configuration is complete you should be good to go.. :) I'm sure I have left something out or not fully explained something, if so let me knoiw and I will update the posting.. Good Luck :)24KViews0likes306CommentsCrashPlan 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.

[/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: root 19952 80.3 7.4 3623440 611904 ?

Memeo backup premium. Automatic activation - how to
Hello everyone, I have finally made my Memeo Backup Premium activate itself. I had been searching this forum for answers, found none. I found a lot of people complaining about Netgear support on this topic. I will not describe the problem and a solution... 1. The not working setup What is the problem... When you start Memeo application (usually starts with you system) you can go to the log file. Right-click you Memeo icon in system tray and choose: "Send Log Files". A new e-mail is created in your e-mail client with two attachments, log and xml file. Open the log file. You will see something like this: Start Time: 2012-03-28 19:21:24 ====================================================== I: 2012-03-28 19:21:24 (tid BMUMonitorApp) - Searching for: UpnpSearcher I: 2012-03-28 19:21:40 (tid BMUMonitorApp) - DataString: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: max-age=1800 ST: upnp:rootdevice USN: uuid:4d696e69-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx::upnp:rootdevice EXT: Server: Linux/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 UPnP/1.0 miniupnpd/1.0 Location: http://192.168.1.1:5555/rootDesc.xml ...

"Valid external drive detected = False" :( So... now we will make it work. 2. The working setup What is different? The laptop and the ReadyNas are now directly connected with an Ethernet cable. What you need to setup is a) enable ETH 1 on ReadyNas (in GUI it is called Ethernet 2) b) assign an IP to that interface (different that the subnet used on ReadyNas ETH 0) c) configure a static IP on your laptop (from the same subnet as above). No gateways or DNS needed here. d) make sure that you can access ReadyNas web page e) shut down Memeo Backup Premium f) Connect you laptop to your WiFi network (this is the usual way I use at home) g) you should be able to access internet now, test it h) turn off laptop firewall i) start Memeo Backup Premium Lets have a look at the log now...

Conclusions: 1) why some packets are blocked when using the first (not working setup)? I have checked my router logs, but I did not find any information. LAN 1 and LAN 2 should work like a switch, but apparently they don't 2) you will need to connect you laptop directly to ReadyNas, and to your wireless router. The second connection is used to access internet, to be able to register your product. 3) The above may be a problem on PCs with only one Ethernet interface. I assume that getting a simple Ethernet switch (no filters/firewall) should help. I do not have any to check. Have fun! :wink:12KViews0likes15Comments
How does RSYNC "verify" integrity of a backup???
I have performed a factory reset my ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer (RNPP) unit. and now want to ensure the restore of the original data from an external USB drive (connected to the NAS' USB port) is copied without any data corruption. I am trying to confirm color=#0000FF]whether RSYNC is a good tool to use to verify the copied data's integrity[/color]. I have ready many posts that suggest using RSYNC to verify a backup. One such example: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=51339&p=292769 mdgm wrote: ... After doing the backup to the USB disk you can verify it using a Rsync backup to USB disk My questions are:' 1) After the initial restore to the RNPP unit (using FrontView's backup job, Source=Share-USBDrive; Target=Share-RNPP Share Drive), I set the backup type to RSYNC. Do I then perform a FULL backup again? 2) The expectation is nothing changes during this first RSYNC backup. Question - so, how does RSYNC actually verify the backup? Does it to a byte-for-byte comparison or just a date/time comparison?10KViews0likes23Comments
rsync from linux to readynas (duo)
I've had a readynas duo sat in the cupboard for a few years and have decided to put it to use as a secondary backup device. The problem is I cannot seem to get rsync to connect. I've searched google but found no useful examples. The file source is on a linux box running ubuntu 14.04 The readynas is an old duo but running the latest firmware. Not mods or additions at the moment. I have enabled rsync on the sevices tab and added one share called backup that has rsync enabled. When I try to rsync to the unit I get a error.. (example via cyggwin, but the results are the same on the linux box) rsync -avz ~/testfiles NAS-76-22-B5:/backup Gary@Gary-Laptop ~ $ ping nas-76-22-b5 Pinging nas-76-22-b5 [192.168.1.11] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.1.11: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64 Reply from 192.168.1.11: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64 Reply from 192.168.1.11: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64 Gary@Gary-Laptop ~ $ ./nastest.sh ssh: connect to host nas-76-22-b5 port 22: Connection refused rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.1] I have tried adding a rsync user but the results are the same.

BitTorrent Sync - How To
This guide is outdated. I havn't got the time to make it up to par Following this guide with above disclaimer is your own responsibility If you havn't read about BT Sync already, do yourself a favor, and read about it here: http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html If you are running a NAS with the R6 software, check out super-poussin's addon from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ie9pwk1wut72ias/p6_X2QeOIC So far, all I have tested is for the x86 on my Pro 4. Feel free to confirm if this works for other processors and models. I have taken the privilege to take some inspiration for the guide (aka. copied a lot) from this thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=61152 as I myself previously have found i very helpful and intuitive. Steps for x86 ReadyNas: 1. You need to do this via the CLI on the readynas so you need to install the Enable Root SSH addon - http://www.readynas.com/download/addons ... .0-x86.bin Complete installation by rebooting your readynas. 2. You will need to get a ssh client for your desktop/laptop, here is one for winblows (putty) - http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/lat ... /putty.exe, nothing to install, just download and place on your desktop or somewhere you can find it. 3. Open putty and SSH into your readynas, enter the IP address and when it prompts for username enter "root" and then your normal raidar/frontpage "password". 4. Now we can install BT Sync. - Download the latest linux version enter "wget http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amaz ... 386.tar.gz" (Link to official download site: http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/ ... nload.html) 5. Once the download has completed lets extract the files which are tarred and zipped. enter "tar -xvf btsync_i386.tar.gz", this will extract all of the files and place them in the root folder. Now enter "./btsync", this will start the BT Sync engine 6. You should now be good to go! Yay :) Visit YourNASIP:8888/gui to see if it's working. If it is, you should see a page similar to this: Now that you have your BT Sync "server" running, all you need is to install a client on your machine. Direct links are as follows (EU servers): Windows: http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amaz ... BTSync.exe Mac: http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amaz ... BTSync.dmg To read more about how you connect your client to your server at you NAS, see this site: http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/ ... arted.html OBS: It seems that BT Sync dosn't automatically start up with your NAS. At the moment you will have to manually start the service every time you reboot you NAS by opening putty and SSH into your readynas, and then entering ./btsync in the console9.6KViews0likes19Comments
Here is promised Symform support?
Hi I have just upgraded my Readynas 2120 to a readynas 102. I used to have Symform installed, providing a safe free online backup in case of fire or theft. In the article https://www.readynas.com/index.php?s=SYMFORM it seems to promise Symform support as well for Readynas 102. But it is not available... Only for arm and x86 devices. I feel a bit misguided, as i am uncomfortable without cloud backup of valuable photos and video. Is there any development going between Netgear and Symform? Or a workaround?

Crashplan on Duo/NV+ v2? [SOLVED + TUTORIAL]
UPDATED: See filzip77's post below for a guide\Tutorial on how to install I’m new to the forums so please be gentle …. I’m looking to venture into having a dedicated/off the shelf NAS rather then the DIY version I have been running for a while. The ReadyNAS Duo\NV+ v2 (ARM version) definitely sticks out as the top runner. The one thing that is stopping me taking the plunge is I’m unclear on if it can cope with running Crashplan. I understand that Crashplan is java based and that the older “sparc” Duo cannot run it. But is there a way to get Crashplan running on a newer Duo v2? I’ve searched then forums but it’s a little unclear. I have seen comments around the web stating folk have done it but not with any detail that gives me any confidence so splash my cash. Any help on this matter would be much appricated.9KViews0likes60CommentsCrashPlan updated to 4.3 and now my GUI will not connect.
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 and is hidden. (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 !8.9KViews1like15CommentsRequest: Backup to OneDrive
Hello, I see that DSM5.1 on Synology NAS devices now supports OneDrive cloud storage for backing files up to. I already subscribe to OneDrive extensively, so would like to be able to backup my files there. Now that the competition has it, any chance that NetGear could pull this off too? Would please me greatly, and a few others no doubt. Thanks, Fraser8.9KViews4likes8Comments
