So I decided - I'll use the instructions to guide me on a manual install, one that isn't subject to issues with the package manager or Java changes. Ultimately, it wasn't the most reliable solution. However it had some issues over time, and the Java distribution would require reinstall periodically. Which is where the PC Load Letter option came in handy. I want unlimited!)ĭue to the terms of distribution with CrashPlan it looks like it cannot be officially packaged by Synology. At this point with B2 being launched, I'd be surprised if they do it at all, or just have a B2-based app instead (in which case it will be utility based billing. I've begged Backblaze to create a Linux client for years and there was some chatter about it, but still nothing public.

The pricing is great, but the client is bloated, buggy and weird.

The first barrier to entry is that there is only one truly 'set-it-and-forget-it' *unlimited* provider that has a Linux client - and that is CrashPlan. 🙂Īnyway - one of the main things I want to do is to try to back up everything on my physical units to the cloud. I'm not as happy, but I'm also not in the market for a new setup. Nowadays with ZFS or Btrfs around, cheaper hardware and such. They're very space efficient, and quiet - the form factor is great, and something I haven't found anywhere else (WHY?!?!) - there is a premium for their specifically designed chassis and software - and in the past I've found it to be worth it. It's time to spend a few minutes to share something that hopefully will solve a headache of mine - and maybe one of yours.
