New plugin available: Crashplan

[sirkkalap]

A while ago I rewrote some Crashplan installation instructions on GitHub. You may review your process against them

https://github.com/sirkkalap/freenas-crashplan-howto/blob/master/README.md

In the very end is a link to instructions about fixing the Java environment changes. Unless that is your problem, I can not yet help you as I still run 9.2 for the fear of compatibility and lack of rollback plan.

I have the crashplan plugin installed on 9.3 . The CrashPlan client has updated to 3.7.0 and after resetting the java options it is working.

There a a few people, like myself, who had/have difficulty getting their crashplan in the crashplan jail to update to the current version, see here https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/crashplan-updated-to-4-3-0-now-will-not-connect.35269/. I've had it working and due to a jail corruption had to re-install and start from scratch. I dread having to re-install the plugin for any reason in the future.

Are there any plans to upgrade the plugin to the latest (4.4.1) version of crashplan? And to maintain to for future crashplan releases?
I'm sure there a many in the FreeNAS community that rely on crashplan to protect their data who would be willing to support the plugin developers, if that is a challenge.

I'm looking for this to all get easier when we have bhyve in FreeNAS 10. At that point we should be able to create a linux VM (Debian?) and avoid some of the headache. I'm hoping Dropbox works the same.
