Note: You must use the username root and not admin.
Simply update your CrashPlan package to the latest .uk version. The below fix is NO longer needed as Patters from .uk has released a new CrashPlan package, version 0030, that fixes the CrashPlan 3.7.0 issue without the need to manually change anything. Using this same client you’ll also be able to change a number of other options such as backup versions, retention, etc. From there you’ll be able to pick what folder / folders / files / or even the entire NAS, you want to ensure are being backed up to CrashPlan.
NOTE: File location for MAC users: /Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/.ui_info Also, be sure to edit the 0.0.0.0 to the IP address of your Synology and Save the file. ui_info file located at C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan removing the GUID key that might already be listed and replace it with the output from the above step. The crashplan app also requires a special GUID key and is currently only available via SSH, so in the PuTTy window (or whatever you’re using to connect to SSH) type the following command:.Log into your Synology SSH using PuTTy or similar app using the admin account and password for your Synology NAS.Edit the second line, “serviceHost” so that it points to the IP address of your Synology NAS like shown below then save the changes. Once installed, you’ll need to make a quick edit to the UI.Properties file located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\CrashPlan\conf\.
But to configure what gets backed up and additional settings you’ll need to download and install the CrashPlan app on your computer. NOTE: Don’t forget to disable SSH once you have everything up and running.
If you’re looking for an alternative I would suggest checking out Backblaze and the post How to install Backblaze on Synology NAS. Crashplan has cancelled their family plan as of.
