It's been in for a few months now and with the addition of the Plex application on the 4th Gen Apple TV, it helps form the cornerstone of our entertainment system with the built-in Plex server.
One thing that I needed to get my head around was setting up an effective backup strategy for it. I've got local resilience, in the form of the RAID 1 array that protects against a drive failure - however this is no help at all in the event of a burglary, disaster or similar event. I needed to get an off-site backup somewhere.
I asked some colleagues how they go about backing up their NAS devices and was met with largely the same response - we don't. (a little bit disconcerting as they are IT 'experts') however when person I respect and begrudgingly admire told me that he uses CrashPlan to backup his Synology NAS. I was familiar with CrashPlan as I had been toying with using either that or BackBlaze for my MacBook Pro backup and I know it's a highly reputable product, so I thought I'd go for it and download the trial.
I thought it was going to be a simple case of downloading the package to the Synology and running it, however there was a lot of naivety there! It was a touch more involved and took a lot of research to get going, however it's now running like a charm.
What follows are the steps I took to get there - I hope they are helpful to some of you out there.
1) Add Java Manager
You are going to need to install Java on your NAS as CrashPlan is written using the Java environment.
Back in 2015, WhatsApp started to offer a version of WhatsApp for PC & Mac users dubbed WhatsApp Web. It's essentially a browser-based WhatsApp app, allowing users to log in from virtually any.

On the next screen, tap. https://productionsclever225.weebly.com/the-mac-whatsapp-app-doesnt-open.html.
First, go to the Java Download and download the right file for your system. I downloaded jdk-7u60-linux-arm-vfp-hflt.tar.gz. Place this in a folder on your local machine for now as you will transfer it to your Synology soon.
Over to your Synology (via a web interface) and open Package Manager. Type in java in the Search field and install Java Manager.
Once Java Manager is installed, open it and install Java. You will be prompted for the location of the file you have just downloaded.
2) Add the correct CrashPlan package
Firstly, we are going to add the source for the package that needs to be downloaded. To do this, connect to your Synology NAS via a web interface and go to:
Package Centre -> Settings -> Package Sources
You are going to add http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk as a new repository, with a name of your choosing (it just acts as an alias).
One of those things is app subscriptions. Here’s how to manage app subscriptions on Mac. System Preferences. In System Preferences there is an Apple iD panel that lets you manage and see account. In the Apple TV app on your Mac, choose Account View My Account, then sign in. In the Account Information window, scroll down to the Settings section. Click the Manage link next to Subscriptions, then follow the onscreen instructions to change or cancel your subscriptions. The subscription cancellation procedure is different for Israel, South Africa, and Turkey. Manage Your Subscriptions. It is possible to see, edit, or revoke your current subscriptions using iOS devices, Mac or Windows PC, Apple TV 4K or 4th generation Apple TV. Specific subscriptions might provide a discounted/free trial period. How To Manage Your Apple Subscriptions On Your Mac, iPhone And iPad There is a place on your Mac and on your iOS device where you can view almost all of your subscriptions, including Apple TV+, Apple News+, Apple Music and subscriptions from any third-party apps you may have. You'll find your iCloud storage subscription in a different location. https://productionsclever225.weebly.com/blog/how-to-view-app-subscriptions-on-mac.
Now, staying in Package Centre, scroll down to the Community menu item on the left and select. You will see some packages that are available for install on the right hand side. Select CrashPlan.
When it's installed, you are going to need to stop the service and then start it again. Easily done, click on the Action drop down box and stop/start the service from there.
3) Install CrashPlan on your main client
Naturally, for me this is a Mac. Go to the download page and install the right client for your machine. What you have to remember here is that you are going to point the CrashPlan software to your Synology, not to your local machine. That involves some Terminal work.
Open Terminal and type in the following command:
sudo nano /Applications/CrashPlan.app/Contents/Resources/Java/conf/ui.properties
Here, you need to remove the # symbol from the #servicehost line and replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of your Synology device. Type ⌃X to exit out, saving changes.
The next job for Terminal is to SSH into your Synology NAS and run the following command:
echo
cat /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info
(please note the backticks, NOT quotes in that syntax. What you will be presented with is is a line of text. You will have a port number (4243), followed by an authentication token, ending with an IP address. You need to copy this token to your clipboard as you are going to replicate it on the equivalent file on your Mac.
Now, exit your SSH configuration and modify the following file using this command:
sudo nano '/Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/.ui_info'
Replace the token in this file with the one you have just copied and replace the IP address binding at the end with the IP address of your Synology.
All should now be done.
4) Verification
You should now be able to open the CrashPlan application and , on the Settings menu, the name of the device being backed up will be your Synology. Click on the Files button to select exactly what you wish to be backed up.
PCLoadLetter have a great page to visit for walking through the procedure above, with updates and comments as appropriate. It's worth bookmarking in case you run into any issues.
Knowing my NAS device is backing up efficiently off-site is such a relief, but I won't be counting my chickens until such a time as I've performed a test Restore operation - backups are only good if you restore effectively, this cannot be over-emphasised.
Step 1: Download and Install The Crashplan App
The Crashplan app has been fully customized to automatically enter all pertinent information (name, email, etc.) as well as to automatically create your account in the system.

Step 2: Select Your Files And Start Your Backup

The user folder contains commonly-used folders for pictures, music, documents, downloads, and more. Aac apps for mac. Your departmental IT staff may select more/less/different files to be backed up by default. If your administrative staff allows you to select different files to be backed up, you can select them by doing the following:
- Go to Home and click Details.
- Select Manage Files.
- Navigate to the drive, folder, or files that you want to add or remove, then:
- Deselect the check box next to any item you want to delete from your backup.
- Select an empty box to add an item to your backup.
- A minus sign indicates that a subfolder within this folder is selected for backup. New subfolders within the folder will not be automatically added to your backup file selection.
- A check mark indicates that this folder is selected for backup. New subfolders within the folder will be automatically added to your backup file selection.
- Click Save.
If you deselected any files or folders, the Delete Files from Backup warning displays. - If applicable, select I understand to confirm you want to delete deselected files from your backup.
- If applicable, select Delete.
After changing the file selection, the Code42 app synchronizes the files selected for backup with the files already backed up to that destination.
View your backed up files.
As soon as a file is backed up, it's ready to be downloaded. To view your backed up files:
- Open and sign in to the Code42 app.
- Go to Home and click Get Files.
A list of backed up files appears. - Review the list to see what's backed up. Click the folder name to see its contents.
What If Some Of My Files Don't Appear In The List Of Backed Up Files?
- The Code42 app backs up your most recent files first. This means your oldest files may not appear in your list of backed up files right away, but they are continually added as the Code42 app works through its 'to-do' list.
- Make sure the file is included in your backup selection.
Deciding What To Back Up
The short answer is, 'Back up the files that matter to you.' Code42 for Enterprise is designed to back up and download your user files.
User files
Code42 for Enterprise is designed to protect your user files. In other words, the files you create, edit, and access that allow you to get your job done. They also include certain files created by applications based on your information and settings in those programs.
- Examples: Documents, spreadsheets, photos, videos, Outlook messages, web browser bookmarks
- Location: Typically stored in a User directory or Home folder
Don't back up operating system and application files
Code42 for Enterprise isn't designed to back up system and application files and we don't recommend adding these files to your backup selection. Doing so could cause issues with the priority and status of other files you want backed up. Additionally, since Code42 for Enterprise isn't designed to download your operating system or applications, there is no advantage to backing up these types of files.
System files
These are files that your device needs to work correctly. They may be a part of your operating system, a third-party device driver, or another source. Typically, you don't interact with these files directly.
Application folders
These folders contain the files that allow various applications - like your email, word processor, and web browser programs - to work correctly. Like system files, you don't typically interact with these files directly.
What happens if the entire hard drive is selected?
If you select your entire hard drive as your backup set, including system and application files, these files could prevent your business files from backing up efficiently.
As part of its normal operation, your device creates new system and application files, which are small. Because the Code42 app prioritizes the to-do list based on size and creation date, the system files are backed up before other files in your backup selection.
Some symptoms you might see if the Code42 app backs up system or application files:
- Time to complete backup selection increases, sometimes by many days.
- Backup never reaches 100%.
- Backup status is incorrectly reported.
- No files are displayed on the Get Files screen.
