CrashPlan is an innovative utility that allows you to back up your computer to another computer or to an external drive, either manually or on a schedule. How does Crashplan compare to other cloud sync solutions? When making a cloud backup solutions comparison, you’ll notice a few differences that set our services apart. For example, data protection like CrashPlan is designed to preserve your files in the cloud, making it possible (and easy) to recover your files in case your hard drive fails. CrashPlan PROe is a back up service used by Faculty and Staff of many Colleges and Units here at the UofM. To purchase licenses for a new organization or purchase additional licenses for an existing organization in CrashPlan, fill out and submit the CrashPlan licensing form. CrashPlan features include continuous, easy cloud-based file backup with file recovery & multi-device compatibility. Learn more about what Crashplan can do. Incydr is a SaaS data risk detection and response product that allows security teams to effectively mitigate file exposure and exfiltration risks without disrupting legitimate collaboration.

Code42 CrashPlan is the recommended, free cloud backup solution for desktops and laptops at MIT.

To configure the CrashPlan engine you have to install the software on your machine, and redirect the GUI to connect with the Drobo. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Edit the file:
   • /Applications/CrashPlan.app/Contents/Resources/Java/conf/ui.properties on OSX
   • C:Program FilesCrashPlanconfui.properties on Windows
   • /usr/local/crashplan/conf/ui.properties on Linux
2. Add the line: serviceHost=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, replacing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the ip address of the Drobo, and save the file.
3. Edit the file:
   • /Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/.ui_info on OSX
   • C:ProgramDataCrashPlan.ui_info on Windows
   • $HOME/.crashplan/.ui_info on Linux
4. Edit the file to look like this: 4243,drobo. You can preserve the original .ui_info file somewhere else, and restore it once you are done accessing CrashPlan on the Drobo.

Once logged in, if the folder selection screen shows the path /mnt/DroboFS/Shares, then congratulations, you have CrashPlan on your Drobo.

To configure the CrashPlan engine you have to install the software on your machine, and redirect the GUI to connect with the Drobo. To do this, you need to establish a port forward from your desktop to the Drobo. Something like this should do the trick:

ssh -L 4200:localhost:4243 root@drobo-5n

Short explanation: this forwards any connection attempts to port 4201 on your machine to port 4243 on the Drobo. Once this is done, you have to tell the CrashPlan client to connect to port 4201 instead of the default (4243). To do this on a Mac, edit the file ~/Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/ui.properties and add this line:

servicePort=4200

Save the file, and start the app. It will ask for the credentials to be used on the Drobo. Once logged in, if the folder selection screen shows the path /mnt/DroboFS/Shares, then congratulations, you have CrashPlan on your Drobo.
