This would require that you set the paths to match accordingly possibly by copying the content to your PC for backup set intitialisation with the same path as it would be on the WD device. Whilst this was a little frustrating for me personally at first, once my backup set was initialised (a few weeks) then this backup approach suits me very well as it has low impact on the device and my network connections, and has been super reliable!Īnother option may be to initialise your backup set from one device (eg your PC) and once complete, adopt that backup on the WD device which would then maintain the backups.
Obviously the initial calculation by CrashPlan is an estimate and depending on your content type you can expect it may take 70% of that time as was my case with mostly jpg and mov files.
However, this is what I would call a “trickle” backup and 300GB of data is likely to take several weeks. You can adjust it mildly through the CrashPlan CPU throttle and other items (allowing those 1mb peaks) at the following link: I confirm that these are the speeds I have encountered using CrashPlan on the WD devices. Good luck with your installs and check back here soon for additional guidance on setting up CrashPlan to start/stop with the crontab! Here are the instructions to connect to crashplan as a headless client from your PC: usr/local/crashplan/bin/CrashPlanEngine start Now you can start CrashPlan on the WD My Cloud: Wget -c -O /usr/local/crashplan/libjtux.so " "
HEADLESS CRASHPLAN INSTALL
With Java installed and working you can now go to the CrashPlan files and install CrashPlan (adjust to your path as necessary):Ĭd /shares/Public/Software/CrashPlan_3.6.3_Linux/CrashPlan-installįinally you need to delete the installed libjtux.so file and download the replacement libjtux.so file: You can now test that java is OK by executing: java -version The following commands need to be executed from the My Cloud command line:Īpt-get install transmission-cli transmission-common transmission-daemonĪpt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless libjna-java
HEADLESS CRASHPLAN UPDATE
This is tested and working on the latest firmware update and latest CrashPlan v3.6.3 (at time of posting). I will attempt to assist you with questions however it may take me a day or two before checking posts/messages. I have configured CrashPlan to start and stop each night via crontab and will add that example later… For example you can check the engine log with: Cat /usr/local/crashplan/log/engine_output.logĬrashPlan runs continuously and so your My Cloud will likely not go in to sleep mode or very briefly. You can review the critical CrashPlan logs at /usr/local/crashplan/log. I put it in Public/Software share and it is stored by the version name (eg 3.6.3) You need to download the CrashPlan for Linux software, extract the files and copy it to your My Cloud. If you are not familiar with this then please look to other posts. Once your backup set is initialised, obviously only changes are then backed up. The last group of directoris in my initial backup set took 3-4 weeks to complete…really! Downloads/restores are much faster. I started by backing up a few MB’s, then a few GB’s, and gradually selecting all my directories. You can expect 100GB to take more than a week… I recommend selecting directories/files for backup in a progressing scenario. It’s better on the My Cloud than on the MBL but it is slow. I include a link for the file and Crashplan won’t work without this replacement file.īackup to CrashPlan’s cloud destination is quite slow. There is a replacement file (libjtux.so) that is required for the ARM processor in the WD My Cloud to work with Java. I use both and therefore this installs both. If you do not install Transmission the java install will fail. Installing Transmission addresses some dependencies for the OpenJDK java install. I was able to recover my files from CrashPlan (cloud backup) to my new WD My Cloud…this saved my life (…well all my family photos and personal docs)!!! I have now had CrashPlan installed and working on my WD My Cloud for about 6 months. I had CrashPlan running on my WD MBL for about a year before my MBL died. This also installs Transmission for bit torrents and every time I do a firmware update I just follow the same steps.
The below allows you to install CrashPlan to your WD My Cloud.
