CrashPlanPro

[Matt_G]

Does anyone know if there are plans for a CrashPlanPro plugin for version 11.2?
I already have several Terabytes worth of data up there.
I really don't want to have to use another solution if I can avoid it.

Just Off-Topic:
Can you use Crashplan with Terabytes of data? Or do they reduce speed / send you emails regarding fair-use policy?

CrashPlan as a Jail/Plugin has always been an ever losing battle since its inception. CrashPlan was never meant to be ran on FreeBSD and seemingly every update would break the CrashPlan Jail/Plugin. If you're dead set on running CrashPlan, the best way to do so is on a Linux VM attached to FreeNAS network shares.

Personally, I abandoned CrashPlan months ago for Client-side encryption on Rclone+Google Drive on Google's Gsuite w/Unlimited Storage at $10/mo. No more pain dealing with CrashPlan constantly breaking, my uploads are way faster (300+ Mbps VS <2 Mbps), and Rclone is even built into FreeNAS now (Although I still use a custom jail for my setup).

I was using CrashPlanPro aka Small Business in a Docker on unRAID.
Unlimited storage for $10.00 a month.

Interesting.
Thanks for this insight.
As I said in reply to Gen8 Runner, I have been using it in a docker on unRAID.
I want to turn off the unRAID box.
I'll look at the Linux VM angle, but perhaps it is time to implement a new solution all together.

If anyone has anymore ideas/suggestions, I am all ears. :)

rclone + encryption is now baked into the FreeNAS GUI, and AFAIK, Google Drive is the most economical backend to use with that. Another frontend that seems to work well is Duplicati--there's a resource on how to install that in a jail.

Thanks Danb35.
I'll check that out.
