CLOSED: CrashPlan cloud backup

[Rok]

I purchased the CrashPlan plug-in and set it up as per the instructions which is fine for backing up from my Windows machine to my Amahi server. What I want, though, is to backup folders from my Amahi server to the CrashPlan cloud storage. (I pay monthly for this so the functionality is available). Now, with the current set up I am able to configure CrashPlan on the server from my Windows desktop machine to backup to the cloud but this means that my Windows desktop will have to be turned on for the synchronization to take place. What steps do I need to perform to automate this directly from the server? Is the plug-in actually of use for that or should I uninstall it and follow the CrashPlan instructions on setting things up on a Linux machine?

You should be able to use the CrashPlan client on the Windows Desktop to configure the version running on the HDA. With that being the case, you should be able to indicate what folders are backed up to the cloud.

CrashPlan Desktop client guidance may be helpful here.

Brilliant - thank you. I already had it set up like that but thought that the desktop client needed to be running to control the CrashPlan on the HDA rather than just being used to configure (and optionally monitor) it remotely. Great plug-in - great work. Thank you

Not a problem.
