Their newer software versions, at least after 4.4.1, seem to upgrade the native jre package properly and require little intervention. I think Code42 (Crashplan’s creator) was inundated with failures as they released some software which essentially broke their linux based backbone. I will say that I didn’t install the java package on two other linux servers and they subsequently just worked themselves out. Importantly, to do this you must change /usr/local/crashplan/install.varsįrom JAVACOMMON=/usr/local/crashplan/jre/bin/java I ended up installing the 12.04LTS java-common package a few months ago which is still v1.6. The documentation for a headless client is poor if you run into any issues. My headless linux boxes stopped backing up to Crashplan earlier this year. Change the leading port to 4200 on the local file. ui_info with the full text key from the remote station. Change the local ui.properties to port 4200.The very short version of what you need to do is: Once I did the uninstall, it was again very easy to connect to remote stations. I was fighting for a long time to get connectivity back to my boxes through my local Crashplan app. The BEST THING you can do is a full uninstall as outlined here: My Windows desktop Crashplan install upgraded from 3.x to 4.x and stopped working with remote clients as the authentication system changed. Code42 clearly improved some documentation and their installation since the summer issues. Just dump the above in your crashplan directory and tar xvf it, it creates the jre folder with all the proper user & permissions information. The recommended packages from Crashplan are: My other linux boxes worked because they were 32bit. The 64bit java package that Code42 supplied did not work on my 64bit Ubuntu 12.04LTS machine. It took hours of trying different solutions, scouring the web, etc. ![]() Both issues are outlined here: Crashplan just crashed my production server. Later, a Crashplan bug crashed a production server after attempting continuous upgrades and consuming all of the drive space. This is what we were forced to do in the absence of support from Code42 for headless clients. ![]() It took me a lot of time and another employee a lot of time as we wanted to avoid installing java-common on our production server. This summer it broke & stopped backing up.
