HEADLESS CRASHPLAN FULL

Full conversation follows (with EULA slightly shortened).

Just press enter to use the default settings, except for where to store the CrashPlan data.

HEADLESS CRASHPLAN INSTALL

With Java installed and some environment changes in place, time to install CrashPlan:.

It turns out the pre-installed version of cpio doesn’t quite cut it.

Set the debconf level to “dialog” and “medium”.

You need to install some packages to get things working:.

Get CrashPlan (adjust as needed to get latest version):.

create a working directory, I use /root/dl (as in “download”):.

Use the pwd of the admin user, that you set when configuring the NAS.

ssh into the NAS, using something like ssh adjust the IP address as needed.

It will be stored under /data/Crashplan Enable ssh root access (once again, using the standard UI).

On the RN312 (using the standard web UI), create a share named “Crashplan”.

Still, as the instructions there doesn’t work for the RN312 series, I feel it might be useful with some additional comments.

HEADLESS CRASHPLAN HOW TO

has been invaluably helpful, providing general ideas on how to approach CrashPlan on ReadyNAS:es.Given the risk of myself having to re-do this at a later date, or for the benefit of others having the desire for the same setup, here we go: First, the usual disclaimer: One or more of the suggestions in this blog post and related posts on this blog may very well void the warranty of your NAS devices.

Turned out that some changes were needed, compared to the walk-throughs for earlier ReadyNAS versions. Anyway, getting CrashPlan up and running on the ReadyNAS was top prio. The java powered CrashPlan application should not be a problem (others have successfully installed it on other x86 powered Netgear NAS:es), it supposedly also nicely handles lots of UPS:es, including (I hope!!) the slightly uncommon Bluewalker UPS that I use. So when the Atom powered dual core Netgear RN 312 was announced it seemed like a nice platform. Tough challenge keeping up with all the new hardware architectures coming to market. Anyway, after years of trying out different setups, mainly focused around a) my iMac with an external USB drive, and b) headless servers (I have all of the Bubba servers,, awesome servers, but even the B3 is today slightly underpowered. Maybe the two combined in a single server – or the jump host in a very small and low power server. The one exception I am willing to make is a good NAS, and possibly also a jump host that will give me ssh access to my home network. Sure, that might be fine, but given that I try to reduce the carbon (and energy, in general) footprint around here, I’d rather put my computers in sleep or hibernation when not used. The downside is that you must keep your computer on at all times.

The paid-for service is very reasonably priced too, giving me unlimited backup space for $4.79/month, given a 2-year signup period. In particular I like the peer-to-peer backup feature, where I can configure my parents’ (or friends) computer to back up to my small headless server during the night, making sure they don’t loose their pictures due to some unfortunate keyboard sequence. I’ve been using CrashPlan for a couple of years now, it’s a great service. It is however easy to move those cache and log files to a better location, so once done with the instructions below, check out this post for details on how to move cache and log. Especially the cache files will quickly fill that partition of you have lots of files. Since my searches have not come up with anyone getting Crashplan, a java based app, working on MIPS based platform, and it isn't listed in optware packages, II will assume it is not going to be done without jumping through lots of hoops, even if it is possible.Edit: Installing according to the instructions below works, but it does place CrashPlan’s log and cache files on the very size constrained root partition of the ReadyNas.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. you can check the optware repository but my guess is if it's not there and theres no information from searching, it hasn't been done

HEADLESS CRASHPLAN SOFTWARE

I dont know anything in particular about 'crashplan' but i do know pogoplugs and pi's are arm based devices, and the software packages available for them may differ than the software available for mips based devices like your n300.
