#Crashplan connecting to backup destination install
Install CrashPlan on the desktop machine.Either install OpenSSH on the 5N, or configure CrashPlan on the 5N to accept remote connections.However, to configure the backup (i.e., chose which files on the 5N will be back, and where) you need a desktop machine will will connect to the 5N. (dont forget to change the client to point back to your’s backup service afterwards)ĬrashPlan on the 5N can automatically backup files on the 5N by itself, without the help of any external machines. Then the client will be configuring Drobo’s backup engine, and you can select the file you want your Drobo to backup Is uncommented (by removing the hash symbol) and set to the IP address of your NAS, e.g.: Once the engine is running, you can manage it by installing CrashPlan on another computer, and editing the file conf/ui.properties on that computer so that this line: You need to edit the crashplan config file so that the desktop client connects to the backup engine ON drobo
#Crashplan connecting to backup destination mac
if you want drobo to do the backup, you need to configure the service on your droboĪt the moment it looks like you are using the client AND service on your MAC You can use the client on your mac to configure either the service on your mac, or the service on your drobo. You can see under “my computers” in your screenshot you haven’t instructed your drobo to backup any files at all- it says 0MB, 100% completeĬrashplan is in two parts - the client (the interface that you use to configure it) and the Service (which does the backing up) If you are using crashplan ON your mac and selecting files ON your drobo to backup to crashplan central, then you are instructing your Mac to do the backingup of your drobo’s files to crashplan central, which is not what you want. Its not clear WHAT you are trying to backup, or WHERE to. Now dropbear is not running and my CP upload has stopped and the drobo “computer/destination” has gone grey instead of green: Working on another issue, I installed SSH to the drobo apps share and restarted. Also, I follow Katie Floyd’s instructions to install and CP appears to be installed correctly.
#Crashplan connecting to backup destination pro
So, my concern…Isn’t the 5N supposed to back up to CrashPlan with out having my computer on as well? The main reason I bought it was to do this in the background so the energy hog mac pro wouldn’t need to run all the time. The Drobo 5N destination reads “Destination unavailable-Backup location is not accessible.” I am able to select the files I want to backup that are on the drobo. The CrashPlan central backup is running fine, so long as the mac pro is on. When I open the Crashplan interface on the mac pro I see as destinations: CrashPlan Central, and Drobo5N. Mac Pro also connected by ethernet to the TC. My drobo is connected by ethernet to a time capsule which is connected to my broadband router. Shouldn’t it be backing up when the drobo is on and the desktop is off? It appears my drobo 5N is backing up through my mac pro, but only when the mac pro is on.
