There is a work around on the CrashPlan site which works but is a little convoluted so wanted to post a nice, quick version here. FreeNAS comes with rsync built in and even Unison which is an interesting solution to cross platform backup/synchronisation, but I’ve payed for my CrashPlan Central plan so want to make use of it!Only problem now is backing up my data!ĬrashPlan doesn’t support backing up from a network share – either mapped drive or UNC path. I’ve gone against my better judgement and I’m using some of the cooler plugins including the Torrent client, Dynamic DNS and I’ve even installed SABNzbd on it. I tried OpenFiler but it pales in comparison to FreeNAS. Recently I’ve installed FreeNAS on to an old PC to (a) start getting some stability to my storage solution, and (b) play around with ZFS and iSCSI at home. ![]() It’s pretty much a fire and forget solution. It’s been working pretty well, despite my frustrations over slow upload speeds. Some time ago I started using CrashPlan with CrashPlan Central to finally start backing up my family photos and important documents off-site.
