CrashPlan Identity After Reinstalling Plugin

[nello]

If I remove and reinstall the CrashPlan plugin and Jail, will the CrashPlan identity change?

In other words, will CrashPlan clients still see the CrashPlan server on my FreeNAS, or will I need to send them new invitations in order for them to use FreeNAS as a destination for their backups?

The identity will indeed change. I know this means you would need to either upload all your data again or "adopt" the original identity to resume backing up. I would presume this changes the invitation ID and would break those connections too. I don't have any experience with client to server backups like this, but I would expect that Crashplan is capable of re-associating IDs here as well if you re-share the invitations.
