\"\"I wanted to backup the data from my Synology DS212+ NAS to an offsite, secure, location so that I can retrieve my data in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n

After some research I ended up at CrashPlan who offer both Windows, Apple as Linux clients. Since there are numerous articles written about how to install the CrashPlan software on a (Synology) NAS I figured it would be an easy task. Installing the CrashPlan (Pro) software was indeed an easy task after I found a ready to install package here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to backup you data to a server hosted in the Netherlands (or in Germany) you end up at ProBackup<\/a>, like I did. I found out (after a while\u2026) they\u2019re using an old version (version 2010.03.08 instead of 3.2-008).<\/p>\n

In this post I\u2019ll explain what steps you\u2019ll have to take (or hoops you have to jump) to get in working, cause I did\u2026<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have terminal access, please install that first (link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Install Java SE for Embedded package for Synology NAS<\/h4>\n

This is a very straightforward task since this is automated by a package by the same guy who created the package for the CrashPlan software. All you have to do is follow the instructions at this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

2. Install CrashPlan Pro package for Synology NAS<\/h4>\n

This is again a very straightforward task, just follow the installation<\/strong> steps at this article<\/a>. You need to install the CrashPlan Pro <\/strong>package. The current version, at the time of writing, is 3.2-008.<\/p>\n

After your done installing the software, stop the package via the Package Center (don\u2019t stop via the shell!) .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In case ProBackup upgrades there servers to 3.2-008 you can start using CrashPlan. If this is not the case, continue reading!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

3. Download the CrashPlan software from ProBackup<\/h4>\n

Execute these steps on your Synology NAS.<\/em><\/p>\n

cd \/volume1\/@tmp\r\nwget https:\/\/crashplan.probackup.nl\/install\/linux\/CrashPlanPRO_2011-05-27_Linux.tar.gz<\/a><\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n
 <\/p>\n
4. Extract the content software package in the temporary directory<\/h4>\n
tar xzf CrashPlanPRO_2011-05-27_Linux.tar.gz\r\ncat CrashPlanPRO-install\/CrashPlanPRO_2010-03-08.cpi | gzip -d -c - | cpio -i --no-preserve-owner<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n
 <\/p>\n
5. Remove the service configuration<\/h4>\n
rm \/volume1\/@appstore\/CrashPlanPRO\/conf\/my.service.xml<\/a><\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n
 <\/p>\n
6. Copy the service definition (necessary to connect to the ProBackup servers)<\/h4>\n
cp CrashPlanPRO-install\/.Custom\/conf\/default.handlers \/volume1\/@appstore\/CrashPlanPRO\/conf\r\ncp CrashPlanPRO-install\/.Custom\/conf\/default.service.xml \/volume1\/@appstore\/CrashPlanPRO\/conf<\/a><\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n
 <\/p>\n
7. Downgrade the CrashPlan engine<\/h4>\n
cp lib\/* \/volume1\/@appstore\/CrashPlanPRO\/lib<\/a><\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n
 <\/p>\n
8. Add libjnidispatch.so to the libjna-java package<\/h4>\n
Unlike the \u201cnewer\u201d 3.2-008 version which uses libjna-3.2.5.jar, the older version used by ProBackup uses the libjna-3.2.7.jar (more specifically, they use java.lang.object.pointer<\/a> which is not present in 3.2.5). So we can\u2019t used the prepared version (or the files found on the internet).<\/p>\n
This is a more difficult task because you need to download the library<\/a> for your processor. And, this I found more annoying, you need the jar<\/a> command, which is part of the JDK (Java Development Kit)<\/a>. Fortunately this can be from a Windows machine, The steps I took are explained in (more) detail here<\/a>, so all credits goes to mark in the dark<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nIf you have a Synology with a Marvel Kirkwood mv6282 (like I have in my DS212+) you can download <\/strong>mine here \n\tjna-3.2.7.jar.tar.gz<\/a>\n.<\/p>\n
wget https:\/\/ingmarverheij.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/downloads\/2012\/05\/jar-3.2.7.tar.gz\r\ntar xvf jar-3.2.7.tar.gz\r\ncp jna-3.2.7.jar \/volume1\/@appstore\/CrashPlanPRO\/lib<\/a><\/pre>\n
<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
9. Install CrashPlan desktop client<\/h4>\n
Don\u2019t install the latest CrashPlan desktop client but use the one offered by ProBackup. The clients can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
If you install the latest version it won\u2019t be able to connect to you Synology NAS.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
10. Configure the CrashPlan client to connect to your Synology<\/h4>\n
After installing the CrashPlan desktop client change the IP address of the serviceHost<\/em> in the ui.properties<\/em> file to the address of your Synology,<\/p>\n
CrashPlan wrote an excellent article about how to connect a CrashPlant client to a Headless CrashPlan client which can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
