I had few other issues with CrashPlan after that, but I could easily fix them by using support pages on CrashPlan website or by contacting CrashPlan support.
#SPEEDING UP CRASHPLAN MANUAL#
I thought that it is expected, so I gave up and started to look for alternatives.īut to my luck CrashPlan answered on my complain which gave me some hope that I could do something to fix this issueĪfter googling one more time I found manual on CrashPlan support website Speeding Up Your Backup (why people don’t read manuals?) and so That it can take around 1 year to backup 1Tb of data. I pay for Individual account as I backup only one Computer which is my Ubuntu server.Īctually my first experience with it was terribleĪfter googling I found that a lot of users were complaining about the same issue. It takes much longer than first one, but allows me to verify that backups are no corrupted.
#SPEEDING UP CRASHPLAN INSTALL#
To configure RAID on Ubuntu at first you need to install mdadm (tool for managing RAID volumes)Ġ 2 * * 1-6 /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/bin/backintime -backup-job >/dev/null 2>& 1 0 2 * * 0 /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/bin/backintime -checksum -backup-job >/dev/null 2>& 1 In case of flood or fire you can loose all your data if you keep everything in your house. Local backups are better than not having backups at all, but having external backups (physically external) is better. If both of them die - you loose everything. This means that if one of them dies - you can restore data from another one. But if you will decide to go only with local backups you can configure RAID-1 (or some other RAID levels) volume, which mirrors data between two drives. This is not a problem for me, because I backup most important data using CrashPlan to the cloud. When one of them fails - you loose entire RAID-0 volume. It just simplifies your life by combining multiple disks in one. RAID-0 does not give you better redundancy. Again I wanted to have one partition, so I built RAID-0 from them. I have few old 1Tb drives which I wanted to use for Backups.
It is cheaper to buy 2x3TB hard drives than one 6Tb drive and I wanted to get just one partition, so RAID-0 is a way to go. In my case I have two RAID volumes, both of them RAID-0
#SPEEDING UP CRASHPLAN HOW TO#
You already know how to configure TimeServer on Ubuntu, so let’s talk about RAID, Back in Time and CrashPlan. On Ubuntu server I have CrashPlan installed, which backups small amount of server settings, /home folder and TimeMachine backups.It backups mostly everything excluding /home folder. My Ubuntu server also backup itself to this RAID-0 using Back In Time.All my Mac computers create backups on my Ubuntu server using TimeMachine.As you know I used netatalk (see AFP Server (for OS X)) and have TimeMachine server on Ubuntu which points on my RAID-0 volume.On Ubuntu server I created 2Gb RAID-0 volume using 2 of my old Hard Drives.You probably know that it is important to backup data from your computers.
