CrashPlan packages for Synology NAS

UPDATE – CrashPlan For Home (green branding) was retired by Code 42 Software on 22/08/2017. See migration notes below to find out how to transfer to CrashPlan for Small Business on Synology at the special discounted rate.

CrashPlan is a popular online backup solution which supports continuous syncing. With this your NAS can become even more resilient, particularly against the threat of ransomware.

There are now only two product versions:

  • Small Business: CrashPlan PRO (blue branding). Unlimited cloud backup subscription, $10 per device per month. Reporting via Admin Console. No peer-to-peer backups
  • Enterprise: CrashPlan PROe (black branding). Cloud backup subscription typically billed by storage usage, also available from third parties.

The instructions and notes on this page apply to both versions of the Synology package.

CrashPlanPRO-Windows

CrashPlan is a Java application which can be difficult to install on a NAS. Way back in January 2012 I decided to simplify it into a Synology package, since I had already created several others. It has been through many versions since that time, as the changelog below shows. Although it used to work on Synology products with ARM and PowerPC CPUs, it unfortunately became Intel-only in October 2016 due to Code 42 Software adding a reliance on some proprietary libraries.

Licence compliance is another challenge – Code 42’s EULA prohibits redistribution. I had to make the Synology package use the regular CrashPlan for Linux download (after the end user agrees to the Code 42 EULA). I then had to write my own script to extract this archive and mimic the Code 42 installer behaviour, but without the interactive prompts of the original.

 

Synology Package Installation

  • In Synology DSM’s Package Center, click Settings and add my package repository:
    Add Package Repository
  • The repository will push its certificate automatically to the NAS, which is used to validate package integrity. Set the Trust Level to Synology Inc. and trusted publishers:
    Trust Level
  • Now browse the Community section in Package Center to install CrashPlan:
    Community-packages
    The repository only displays packages which are compatible with your specific model of NAS. If you don’t see CrashPlan in the list, then either your NAS model or your DSM version are not supported at this time. DSM 5.0 is the minimum supported version for this package, and an Intel CPU is required.
  • Since CrashPlan is a Java application, it needs a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to function. It is recommended that you select to have the package install a dedicated Java 8 runtime. For licensing reasons I cannot include Java with this package, so you will need to agree to the licence terms and download it yourself from Oracle’s website. The package expects to find this .tar.gz file in a shared folder called ‘public’. If you go ahead and try to install the package without it, the error message will indicate precisely which Java file you need for your system type, and it will provide a TinyURL link to the appropriate Oracle download page.
  • To install CrashPlan PRO you will first need to log into the Admin Console and download the Linux App from the App Download section and also place this in the ‘public’ shared folder on your NAS.
  • If you have a multi-bay NAS, use the Shared Folder control panel to create the shared folder called public (it must be all lower case). On single bay models this is created by default. Assign it with Read/Write privileges for everyone.
  • If you have trouble getting the Java or CrashPlan PRO app files recognised by this package, try downloading them with Firefox. It seems to be the only web browser that doesn’t try to uncompress the files, or rename them without warning. I also suggest that you leave the Java file and the public folder present once you have installed the package, so that you won’t need to fetch this again to install future updates to the CrashPlan package.
  • CrashPlan is installed in headless mode – backup engine only. This will configured by a desktop client, but operates independently of it.
  • The first time you start the CrashPlan package you will need to stop it and restart it before you can connect the client. This is because a config file that is only created on first run needs to be edited by one of my scripts. The engine is then configured to listen on all interfaces on the default port 4243.
 

CrashPlan Client Installation

  • Once the CrashPlan engine is running on the NAS, you can manage it by installing CrashPlan on another computer, and by configuring it to connect to the NAS instance of the CrashPlan Engine.
  • Make sure that you install the version of the CrashPlan client that matches the version running on the NAS. If the NAS version gets upgraded later, you will need to update your client computer too.
  • The Linux CrashPlan PRO client must be downloaded from the Admin Console and placed in the ‘public’ folder on your NAS in order to successfully install the Synology package.
  • By default the client is configured to connect to the CrashPlan engine running on the local computer. Run this command on your NAS from an SSH session:
    echo `cat /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info`
    Note those are backticks not quotes. This will give you a port number (4243), followed by an authentication token, followed by the IP binding (0.0.0.0 means the server is listening for connections on all interfaces) e.g.:
    4243,9ac9b642-ba26-4578-b705-124c6efc920b,0.0.0.0
    port,--------------token-----------------,binding

    Copy this token value and use this value to replace the token in the equivalent config file on the computer that you would like to run the CrashPlan client on – located here:
    C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan\.ui_info (Windows)
    “/Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/.ui_info” (Mac OS X installed for all users)
    “~/Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/.ui_info” (Mac OS X installed for single user)
    /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info (Linux)
    You will not be able to connect the client unless the client token matches on the NAS token. On the client you also need to amend the IP address value after the token to match the Synology NAS IP address.
    so using the example above, your computer’s CrashPlan client config file would be edited to:
    4243,9ac9b642-ba26-4578-b705-124c6efc920b,192.168.1.100
    assuming that the Synology NAS has the IP 192.168.1.100
    If it still won’t connect, check that the ServicePort value is set to 4243 in the following files:
    C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan\conf\ui_(username).properties (Windows)
    “/Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/ui.properties” (Mac OS X installed for all users)
    “~/Library/Application Support/CrashPlan/ui.properties” (Mac OS X installed for single user)
    /usr/local/crashplan/conf (Linux)
    /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info (Synology) – this value does change spontaneously if there’s a port conflict e.g. you started two versions of the package concurrently (CrashPlan and CrashPlan PRO)
  • As a result of the nightmarish complexity of recent product changes Code42 has now published a support article with more detail on running headless systems including config file locations on all supported operating systems, and for ‘all users’ versus single user installs etc.
  • You should disable the CrashPlan service on your computer if you intend only to use the client. In Windows, open the Services section in Computer Management and stop the CrashPlan Backup Service. In the service Properties set the Startup Type to Manual. You can also disable the CrashPlan System Tray notification application by removing it from Task Manager > More Details > Start-up Tab (Windows 8/Windows 10) or the All Users Startup Start Menu folder (Windows 7).
    To accomplish the same on Mac OS X, run the following commands one by one:

    sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist
    sudo mv /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist.bak

    The CrashPlan menu bar application can be disabled in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Current User > Login Items

 

Migration from CrashPlan For Home to CrashPlan For Small Business (CrashPlan PRO)

  • Leave the regular green branded CrashPlan 4.8.3 Synology package installed.
  • Go through the online migration using the link in the email notification you received from Code 42 on 22/08/2017. This seems to trigger the CrashPlan client to begin an update to 4.9 which will fail. It will also migrate your account onto a CrashPlan PRO server. The web page is likely to stall on the Migrating step, but no matter. The process is meant to take you to the store but it seems to be quite flakey. If you see the store page with a $0.00 amount in the basket, this has correctly referred you for the introductory offer. Apparently the $9.99 price thereafter shown on that screen is a mistake and the correct price of $2.50 is shown on a later screen in the process I think. Enter your credit card details and check out if you can. If not, continue.
  • Log into the CrashPlan PRO Admin Console as per these instructions, and download the CrashPlan PRO 4.9 client for Linux, and the 4.9 client for your remote console computer. Ignore the red message in the bottom left of the Admin Console about registering, and do not sign up for the free trial. Preferably use Firefox for the Linux version download – most of the other web browsers will try to unpack the .tgz archive, which you do not want to happen.
  • Configure the CrashPlan PRO 4.9 client on your computer to connect to your Syno as per the usual instructions on this blog post.
  • Put the downloaded Linux CrashPlan PRO 4.9 client .tgz file in the ‘public’ shared folder on your NAS. The package will no longer download this automatically as it did in previous versions.
  • From the Community section of DSM Package Center, install the CrashPlan PRO 4.9 package concurrently with your existing CrashPlan 4.8.3 Syno package.
  • This will stop the CrashPlan package and automatically import its configuration. Notice that it will also backup your old CrashPlan .identity file and leave it in the ‘public’ shared folder, just in case something goes wrong.
  • Start the CrashPlan PRO Synology package, and connect your CrashPlan PRO console from your computer.
  • You should see your protected folders as usual. At first mine reported something like “insufficient device licences”, but the next time I started up it changed to “subscription expired”.
  • Uninstall the CrashPlan 4.8.3 Synology package, this is no longer required.
  • At this point if the store referral didn’t work in the second step, you need to sign into the Admin Console. While signed in, navigate to this link which I was given by Code 42 support. If it works, you should see a store page with some blue font text and a $0.00 basket value. If it didn’t work you will get bounced to the Consumer Next Steps webpage: “Important Changes to CrashPlan for Home” – the one with the video of the CEO explaining the situation. I had to do this a few times before it worked. Once the store referral link worked and I had confirmed my payment details my CrashPlan PRO client immediately started working. Enjoy!
 

Notes

  • The package uses the intact CrashPlan installer directly from Code 42 Software, following acceptance of its EULA. I am complying with the directive that no one redistributes it.
  • The engine daemon script checks the amount of system RAM and scales the Java heap size appropriately (up to the default maximum of 512MB). This can be overridden in a persistent way if you are backing up large backup sets by editing /var/packages/CrashPlan/target/syno_package.vars. If you are considering buying a NAS purely to use CrashPlan and intend to back up more than a few hundred GB then I strongly advise buying one of the models with upgradeable RAM. Memory is very limited on the cheaper models. I have found that a 512MB heap was insufficient to back up more than 2TB of files on a Windows server and that was the situation many years ago. It kept restarting the backup engine every few minutes until I increased the heap to 1024MB. Many users of the package have found that they have to increase the heap size or CrashPlan will halt its activity. This can be mitigated by dividing your backup into several smaller backup sets which are scheduled to be protected at different times. Note that from package version 0041, using the dedicated JRE on a 64bit Intel NAS will allow a heap size greater than 4GB since the JRE is 64bit (requires DSM 6.0 in most cases).
  • If you need to manage CrashPlan from a remote location, I suggest you do so using SSH tunnelling as per this support document.
  • The package supports upgrading to future versions while preserving the machine identity, logs, login details, and cache. Upgrades can now take place without requiring a login from the client afterwards.
  • If you remove the package completely and re-install it later, you can re-attach to previous backups. When you log in to the Desktop Client with your existing account after a re-install, you can select “adopt computer” to merge the records, and preserve your existing backups. I haven’t tested whether this also re-attaches links to friends’ CrashPlan computers and backup sets, though the latter does seem possible in the Friends section of the GUI. It’s probably a good idea to test that this survives a package reinstall before you start relying on it. Sometimes, particularly with CrashPlan PRO I think, the adopt option is not offered. In this case you can log into CrashPlan Central and retrieve your computer’s GUID. On the CrashPlan client, double-click on the logo in the top right and you’ll enter a command line mode. You can use the GUID command to change the system’s GUID to the one you just retrieved from your account.
  • The log which is displayed in the package’s Log tab is actually the activity history. If you are trying to troubleshoot an issue you will need to use an SSH session to inspect these log files:
    /var/packages/CrashPlan/target/log/engine_output.log
    /var/packages/CrashPlan/target/log/engine_error.log
    /var/packages/CrashPlan/target/log/app.log
  • When CrashPlan downloads and attempts to run an automatic update, the script will most likely fail and stop the package. This is typically caused by syntax differences with the Synology versions of certain Linux shell commands (like rm, mv, or ps). The startup script will attempt to apply the published upgrade the next time the package is started.
  • Although CrashPlan’s activity can be scheduled within the application, in order to save RAM some users may wish to restrict running the CrashPlan engine to specific times of day using the Task Scheduler in DSM Control Panel:
    Schedule service start
    Note that regardless of real-time backup, by default CrashPlan will scan the whole backup selection for changes at 3:00am. Include this time within your Task Scheduler time window or else CrashPlan will not capture file changes which occurred while it was inactive:
    Schedule Service Start

  • If you decide to sign up for one of CrashPlan’s paid backup services as a result of my work on this, please consider donating using the PayPal button on the right of this page.

    Intel CPUs no longer need the awkward glibc version-faking shim to enable inotify support (for real-time backup)
    Switched to using root account – no more adding account permissions for backup, package upgrades will no longer break this
    DSM Firewall application definition added
    Tested with DSM Task Scheduler to allow backups between certain times of day only, saving RAM when not in use
    Daemon init script now uses a proper PID file instead of Code42’s unreliable method of using grep on the output of ps
    Daemon init script can be run from the command line

  • 010 minor bug fix relating to daemon home directory path
  • 009 rewrote the scripts to be even easier to maintain and unified as much as possible with my imminent CrashPlan PROe server package, fixed a timezone bug (tightened regex matching), moved the script-amending logic from installer.sh to start-stop-status.sh with it now applying to all .sh scripts each startup so perhaps updates from Code42 might work in future, if wget fails to fetch the installer from Code42 the installer will look for the file in the public shared folder
  • 008 merged the 14 package scripts each (7 for ARM, 7 for Intel) for CP, CP PRO, & CP PROe – 42 scripts in total – down to just two! ARM & Intel are now supported by the same package, Intel synos now have working inotify support (Real-Time Backup) thanks to rwojo’s shim to pass the glibc version check, upgrade process now retains login, cache and log data (no more re-scanning), users can specify a persistent larger max heap size for very large backup sets
  • 007 fixed a bug that broke CrashPlan if the Java folder moved (if you changed version)
  • 006 installation now fails without User Home service enabled, fixed Daylight Saving Time support, automated replacing the ARM libffi.so symlink which is destroyed by DSM upgrades, stopped assuming the primary storage volume is /volume1, reset ownership on /var/lib/crashplan and the Friends backup location after installs and upgrades
  • 005 added warning to restart daemon after 1st run, and improved upgrade process again
  • 004 updated to CrashPlan 3.2.1 and improved package upgrade process, forced binding to 0.0.0.0 each startup

  • 002 updated to CrashPlan 3.2
  • 001 30/Jan/12 – intial public release

    As always, thank you Patters for maintaining this package (and this page). It’s been very helpful and much appreciated. I have two questions…

    1) I’ve seen a few mentions of running Crashplan in Docker. I know very little about what this actually means. What are the advantages? Will it be less likely to break when there are updates? Are there any disadvantages?

    2) This is a great site — but the stream of comments gets very time-consuming to wade through. Wouldn’t it be worthwhile to restart the question/answer materials in a forum — like Google Groups or something? Seems that the threads would be easier to follow and the information would be more easily accessible.

    I’m up and running now on DSM 5.2 on a DS415+

    I tried all solutions on https://crashplan.setepontos.com/crashplan-4-7-0-installation

    Nothing helped. The update came in but was not processed and gave the “upgrade failed” message. After following these instructions form Aaron P:

    Here’s what worked for me, since all else failed on DSM 5.2. These steps assume you’ve already done Suggestion 1 above. The paths also assume you are running CrashPlan PRO.

    Install ipkg: http://itsonlycode.blogspot.de

    Install bash and coreutils via ipkg:
    ipkg install -A bash
    ipkg install -A coreutils

    Symlink so CrashPlan can find them:
    ln -s /opt/bin/bash /bin/bash
    ln -s /opt/bin/nice /bin/nice

    Back up install.vars and syno_package.vars:
    cp /var/packages/CrashPlanPRO/target/install.vars ~/
    cp /var/packages/CrashPlanPRO/target/syno_package.vars ~/

    Uninstall CrashPlan via Package Center
    Install CrashPlan via Package Center

    After a fresh install the update came in and was processed in the right way. Today I did the update from Patters and everything is working fine!

    So the key was answer of Aaron P and following suggestion 1 on https://crashplan.setepontos.com/crashplan-4-7-0-installation. I hope it helps more people.

    Working like a charm on DS415+. Auto upgrade worked flawlessly.
    Thank you so much for your work. I still hope that Code42 will support (some) Synology boxes, just like other (more standard) connectors to S3, etc…
    This way, we’ll stop bothering you everytime Code42 build a new (Synology incompatible) package ;-)
    Thanks again

    Is anyone else seeing this message in their notification window? Synology is suggesting it is because of crashplan (unsupported software running on the box). I am running the lastest versions of crashplan and DSM.

    DSM cannot start up normally because it ran into a problem. Please contact the Synology support team for help.

    Nothing seems to be problematic with my array – but this message appears every 2-4 hours in the notification window.

        Here is the message in the notification window:

        “DSM cannot start up normally because it ran into a problem. Please contact the Synology support team for help.”

        When I contacted them they said to remove crashplan, and if that didn’t resolve it – to reinstall DSM from scratch.. :/

        I am going to uninstall crashplan and see if I have this error message over night.

    Thanks for all your work!

    I’m managing CrashPlan on my DiskStation and also for a friend’s, so I threw together a bash script to retrieve .ui_info, massage it, and drop it into the user-specific or system-wide .ui_info, then launch the CrashPlan client. It’s got paths for OS X and Linux (but er…it needs conditional logic to run the Linux binary instead of the OS X one. Wups.):

    earchibald$ ./crashplan-setup.sh upstairs.the-house.org

    It’s all working again ! Great – thanks Patters.
    Using a DS215j – any suggestions for improving upload speeds .. I’m sure it used to run faster … (my Virgin internet is pretty quick 12 Mbps upload 200 download – so that should’t be the problem.)
    I did a clean install of the latest version and didn’t change any of the defaults.
    Network settings in crashplan client are set to have no limits.

      I had to temporarily disable the virus scan to maximize the upload speed. 512MB on the DS216j is a limitation.

    Completely reinstalled the new package, using a DS215j, but still getting a similar result, in which the CrashPlan package starts and stops every few minutes. Is this normal?

    I’ve got CP working on a local network, I can also connect from CP UI to CP on Synology from outside my network using public IP; however the backup to that destination is not working, it keeps saying “Waiting for connection”. I’ve opened both CP ports to outside. Any ideas?

    Running a DS414 and installed 4.7. Package starts then stops and does not restart.
    I had no issues on my DS1513+ or a DS214play (both Intel).

    Did a new install of Java. DSM is 6.0-7321 Update 3
    Any ideas on how to keep the package running?

    I was using release 039 without any problems for several weeks, I tried upgrading to release 040 and once I made the switch it started having the “scan halfway through the folder and restart error” I’ve tried all the traditional fixes for this, including increasing memory and reinstalling but it still gives the same defect mode. Enough people have showed the log files for this error that I won’t bloat this message with it.

    Does it start but then stop a few seconds later (and not restart) like I was describing just above?

    Hi Patters

    I have two Windows 10 PCs that have been backing up to a DS415Play very successfully for some time. With the CP 4.7.0 update on the PCs the connection to the DS stopped so I updated CP on the DS to the same version, which normally gets it working again, but this time it hasn’t. I have reinstalled Java and CP on the DS and CP on the PCs without success. They are all running but there is no connection when on LAN or WAN.

    Any advice would be most welcome!

    Oh great … another DSM Update … Version: 6.0.1-7393

        Uninstalling and reinstalling the CrashPlan package got it going for me.

        Actually, I may have spoken too soon. It shows as “Running” within DSM but no clients have managed to connect to it yet.

      3. johnpane

        All that is getting logged is starting and stopping of CrashPlan. No client connections or attempts are shown. I have rebooted the DS and un/reinstalled CrashPlan. This is on a DS412+.

    upgraded to DSM 6.0.1-7393. Had to uninstall crash plan package and reinstall. needed to issue the command, “echo `cat /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info`” to get the new authentication token.

    Everything is back working

      Mine stopped working as well. Apparently it has to do with the startup scripts not finding Java anymore. No fix yet, investigating.

        My CrashPlan install was unaffected following the latest DSM update, but I got this exact same problem with my Serviio installation. I couldn’t fix it. It was like the shell that was spawning to run the package had no environment. The root profile and /etc/profile were correctly defining the Java location but these variables were ignored somehow when started from the DSM GUI. I ended up having to reinstall Serviio, which fixed it. It definitely seemed to have been caused by the latest DSM update.

    Have just updated my DS415+ to DSM 6.0.1-7393. It had been running CrashPlanPRO 4.7.0-0040 ok since the last DSM update a couple of weeks ago. I’ve reset the GUID in my local desktop (Linux Mint) but of course it won’t connect because CPP won’t start on the NAS. I’ve checked the NAS for upgrade files but there aren’t any in /var/packages/CrashPlanPRO/target/upgrade so I don’t think it’s a 7zip issue.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks.

      craig1001: try rebooting your DiskStation. That got the CrashPlan service running again for me after the DSM update, and it looks like it’s worked for others commenting earlier here.

    I seem to be having an issue upgrading the CP PROe client from 4.6.0 to 4.7.0 on a DS713+ running DSM 6.0-7321 Update 7. I don’t see anyone else having this issue and I’m hoping someone could give me a hand.

    When I go to update it, I get A message saying that it failed to update ‘CrashPlan PROe client’.
    there was a problem downloading CrashPlanPROe_4.7.0_Linux.tgz from the official download link.

    This process removes CP 4.6.0, so when the install fails, there is no CP PROe on the machine. I can re-install 4.6.0 by selecting it in the install process, but it, of course, won’t run and notifies me there is an update available.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

      It looks like CP PROe 4.7.0 has not actually been released yet as standalone download. You’ll have to pick 4.6.0 in the installer for now. They really don’t make this easy do they?

        Yes, they do!

        What’s frustrating is that I haven’t been able to backup for a week now.

        Thanks for checking, Patters!

    There is no need to reinstall CP after updating to 6.0.1-7393.
    It’s enough to execute from a shell:

    sudo /var/packages/CrashPlan/scripts/start-stop-status.sh start

    After that, I can stop and start CP again with no problems from Syno Package Center.

    I backup 3 PC’s to a folder on my 214 Play. When I first setup crashplan on the server, I changed the default backup location to a folder backups/crashplan. I also have other backup programs going to backups/Windows, etc.

    With this last update on crash plan I noticed that my used disk space was being increased quite a bit. After investigating I found that the back ups are going to a different directory on the server. They are now going to a folder named crashplan/backuparchives. When I first installed crash plan I created a back up directory and then had all my backups going to that directory. Crashplan, windows backup, etc. It appears that this last update change things back to the original default location to place backups. I probably will not change it back in case crashplan changes it again on the next update.
    Just thought I would mention it in case others are seeing their disk space disappearing.

      This is my package’s default location for the friends’ backups, as explained on the main blog post. If I hadn’t defined this location it would by default store them inside the package folder resulting in total loss if the package is upgraded/removed. Not sure why it would have reset though, since the CrashPlan config XML should persist between package versions.

        Hey patters,

        The following line on the installer.sh script is not deterministic. Just before a reboot, the result was:

        find / -maxdepth 2 -path ‘/volume?/@tmp’
        /volume3/@tmp
        /volume1/@tmp
        /volume2/@tmp

        I store my backupArchives under volume1, so if by any chance I had installed the package with this order I would have to re-configure all paths (as I have done once already). The current order after another reboot is:

        find / -maxdepth 2 -path ‘/volume?/@tmp’
        /volume1/@tmp
        /volume3/@tmp
        /volume2/@tmp

        At least volume1 appears first now. Any ideas on how to improve this? Perhaps a package installation option?

        Cheers,

    would this solve the problem of trying to start the package from the Package Center, then seeing it start, but the stop itself about 10 seconds later? Tried a reboot, re-install, and new Java. No difference. Help!

    I tried for hours to get this working again. I can install 4.6 and start it, but I cannot connect to it with the GUI on my desktop.
    I have edited the files multiple times but nothing happens. Gui will not open. Set it back to normal and it opens fine.
    I have 4.7 on my desktop. I found a 4.6 version, after a very long search, and it updates automatically to 4.7. Will 4.7 desktop gui work on 4.6 Synology Crashplan?

    Warning: I was running Crashplan using Java 8, and I then realized that some files were never being backed up – it was happily skipping over many files without telling me at all on the UI (it said “backup complete”, but the files were not available to restore – the logs). I talked to Crashplan support, and they suggested I downgraded to java 7 (1.7.0), so I uninstalled Java 8 from the Synology and that did the trick.

    If you *have* been running with Java 8, you may want to search your service.log files for exceptions like this:

      Enhancement idea – optional configuration to use Java 7 Embedded JRE regardless of system JRE. Similar to Java package, the user will need to download the appropriate JRE bundle from Oracle and put it in the public folder on the NAS. A UI wizard during the package install will determine whether or not this is used. install.vars gets amended to use local Java 7 JRE.

    First of all thanks for all your help guiding us with making the CrashPlan app work.

    – I noticed on June 9 2016 that CrashPlan had stopped on the Synology (running the latest DSM 6.0.1-7393). Crashplan was version 4.7.
    – After a few messing around, I uninstalled and reinstalled your latest package and the app started working fine.
    – I made sure that the ui_info ui_properties reflected the necessary keys, ports and server addresses. Unfortunately, the Windows app does not find the server and just times out.
    – The version of Crashplan is 4.7.0 – 1435813200470 (2015-07-02T05:00:00:470+0000) – Build: 317.
    – According to the app log on the server :

    COMPUTERS
    671279843063103752, DiskStation, SELF, private=0.0.0.0:4242, connectedFor=0ms

    – This surprised me as it shows port 4242 and not 4243.
    – The cat /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info ; echo shows that it is 4243.

    – I tried changing the Windows application files from port 4243 to port 4242 and that made no difference either.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

      I think the last DSM update broke the way that some packages’ shells are invoked. It will be cured with a package reinstall. To do this without having to re-sync your entire backup set I think you can edit /var/packages/CrashPlan/INFO and lower the package version number in that file. Then open Package Center and it will offer you an upgrade to the latest version, which will migrate your settings.

        Same as before: Desktop app cannot make contact with the Crashplan app on the Sinology NAS 1513+ (Latest FW).

    Five days ago, DSM on my NAS auto-updated and my CrashPlan would no longer run. After reading about it on some places, eg here, I decided to reinstall CrashPlan. I uninstalled it, but when I was about to reinstall it, I noticed that none of the PCLoadLetter packages were available to install. No CrashPlan, no Serviio, no MineCraft or any other package from http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk/. So now I’m left without any CrashPlan at all, running or not. Any help would be much appreciated.

    My NAS is a Synology DS1513+ running the latest public version of DSM.

      Is that still the case? While running DSM 5.x your system’s identifier was either cedarview or x86, but DSM has been compiled as a 64bit native OS now so maybe they changed the name.
      Can you run uname -a and paste the result so I can fix this.

    Alright. I think I found the issue with my hiccup. (see two above)
    I noticed upon echo `cat /var/lib/crashplan/.ui_info` that
    4271,/—–whatever token text———/,0.0.0.0
    was returned.
    That was despite restarting, despite forcing the re-run of the install script as Patters had described.
    At first I didn’t notice, but then looked at the fist four digits and found that they do not read 4243.
    Running the config scripts did not seem to have an impact. (It may well be that I did not do something correctly, although I like to think that I followed the instructions well enough.)

    Not knowing any better, I uninstalled and reinstalled CP on the NAS.

    Now all works.

    Hope this helps someone else in my situation.

    Again, thanks Patters.

    I highly recommend anyone using Java SE 8 to _immediately_ downgrade to Java SE 7. I was on Java 8 and it was “backing up” (and even Crashplan server thought it was backing up) – however it was missing a LOT of files. (I had to check after reading comments a bit earlier in this thread about backups not working on Java SE 8). Not only that, but my log files did not have the exceptions in them that others have seen (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException), so it wasn’t even obvious from looking at the log files that it was failing.

    Only by going to the “restore files” UI in Crashplan web could I see that my recent files weren’t actually being backed up. Now that I’ve downgraded to Java SE 7, I had to change my backup set slightly for force a re-scan, and it’s now backing up 10GB of data that wasn’t previously backed up.

    I got tired of manually switching files (ui.properties & .ui_info) on my Windows PC to access the CrashPlan UI for my PC and CrashPlan UI for the NAS so I wrote this .bat file. I’m passing along in case it’s useful to others.

    Some notes:
    1) It requires a .ORG and .DISKSTATION version of each of the two ui files in their respective directories that hold the right config strings for starting the respective UIs. This .bat file just swaps those files.
    2) Be sure the CrashPlan UI isn’t already running
    3) Be sure to run the .bat file as administrator

    @echo off
    REM change the current working directory to where the batch script is located
    cd /d %~dp0

    if exist CurrNAS.txt (
    call :PC
    goto :EOF
    )
    if exist CurrPC.txt (
    call :NAS
    goto :EOF
    )
    if not exist *Curr*.txt (
    call :NAS
    goto :EOF
    )
    goto :EOF

    REM subroutines only below this point:
    :PC
    REM switch to PC UI
    echo Switching to PC UI
    copy “C:\Program Files\CrashPlan\conf\ui.properties.ORG” “C:\Program Files\CrashPlan\conf\ui.properties”
    copy “C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan\.ui_info.ORG” “C:\ProgramData\CrashPlan\.ui_info”
    echo “Currently PC UI” > CurrPC.txt
    del CurrNAS.txt

    So, now it would seem that CP PROe 4.6.0 is also unavailable. I’ve been futzing with this and thought I’d try another 4.6.0 re-install, but I get the same error message as before, only with 4.6.0’s path listed. 4.5.2 still installs, though I doubt it will work.

    Our organization uses CrashplanPROe and we just got a new Synology RS815+. I’m having a hell of a time getting Crashplan working on it. I installed Java 7, per the comments, and the CrashPlan PROe Client. Since 4.7.0 and 4.6.0 won’t download anymore (also outlined in the comments) I went with 4.5.2 and made sure my client was running the same version. I could log in at first but it quit pretty quickly and then the PROe Client was stopped on the server. I used cmd `sudo /var/packages/CrashPlanPROe/scripts/start-stop-status.sh start` which believed it started it but it stayed stopped on the Synology. I can uninstall and reinstall, but the process stops pretty quickly after installation. I tried downgrading to 4.5.0, same issue. I also did reboot the box but that didn’t help either. Any ideas on how to get this stable?

    I’m running the latest packages of CP on DSM 6.0.1-7393 Update 1. Lately i’ve noticed that inbound backups to the Diskstation keep disconnecting. Both sides simply say the reason for stopping is the backup destination disconnected. This happens every 10-30 minutes while a backup is running. Is anyone else seeing this? The CP service isn’t restarting so I’m wondering if there’s some TCP timeout that’s dropping the connection. If I notice the disconnect has happened and go force a retry, it usually connects up right away.

Looks like the upgrade installs successfully – not getting the “repaired in” issue from earlier. Tried switching to Synology Java 7 and Java 8.

      I noticed the exact same behavior – new version appeared to successfully upgrade, but then the service would no longer start and didn’t even appear to be touching its log files.

      Poking around, I found /var/packages/CrashPlan/target/bin/CrashPlanEngine which appears to be the start/stop/status script for CP. I guess this is a change from previous versions – running “/var/packages/CrashPlan/target/bin/CrashPlanEngine start” successfully starts CP, though Package Center in DSM still shows its status as Stopped.

      And as mgittleman reported, syno_package.vars is no longer anywhere to be found, so IDK how to increase the Java heap any more except via the GUI.

      I also encountered this. I don’t know why, but it seems as if the upgrade process wiped the lib directory. There may be other solutions to this but my solution was to re-install the crashplan package. But then I encountered two more problems 1) JAVACOMMON was changed in install.vars, easily fixed 2) An UnsatisfiedLinkError in service.log.0 when loading libjtux.so. My guess is that the upgrade process replaced this library with a ARM incompatible version. After re-installing the package (again) I copied this library to another location and after the upgrade I copied it back again.

    I used this to extract the files but the ‘could not find JAR’ file error above is the remaining issue preventing the service from starting up.

    I had a problem today with update 1435813200470. It seems like this update overwrote my libjtux.so (located in the CrashPlan directory) with a non-ARM compatible version causing a UnsatisfiedLinkError exception visible in the service.log.0 file. My work-around was to re-install the crashplan package, copy the libjtux.so file to /tmp, and then when the upgrade had overwritten this file I copied it back. Also, the upgrade process downloaded a non-ARM compatible JRE and changed JAVACOMMON in install.vars so that had to be changed as well.

    Ok. I have just installed CrashPlan about a month ago and being at 90% complete on my initial back up of 2.5TB I thought I was going a bit crazy as to why this happened. It’s been a long road to even get the thing installed for someone who hasn’t touched unix/linux for 20 years. If and when a solution is found, if someone is willing to outline the fix in fairly easy to understand steps I would be vary appreciative. Thanks all.

    I managed to get it running again after doing what curby.net above described.

    Nevertheless, as other mentioned it too, the syno_package.vars disappeared.
    All my other attempts to change the memory from 1024m to another value failed so far.
    The entry in my.service.xml is getting ignored. Same happens via the GUI java mx command. It always defaults back to 1024m. The engine_output.log always states:
    Checking Java memory heap max.
    Previous Java memory max heap size was 1024

    Might they have included an auto detect to adjust memory based on system available memory?

    Hello All…

    I have (it seems) managed to get it working.

    Version: 4.7.0 – 1435813200470 (2015-07-02T05:00:00:470+0000) – Build: 344

    1: Delete the crashplan package.
    2: SSH in and delete /var/lib/crashplan
    3: Reinstall Crashplan
    4: Replace the jna.jar file as described in previous posts.
    5: Start Crashplan

    Oddly, I set the JAVA path absolutely in the install.vars file, but looking at it now, it has reverted to standard. Maybe I did not save it…. No idea…..

    Regardless……….

    At this point, it seems to be working. I can log in via the client from a windows PC just fine.

    BUT… It is now set up as a new PC. I have not adopted a previous GUID. And for me, that’s OK.

    Good Luck…!!!

        4. Rename (or delete) the jna. that ships with CrashPlan “mv /var/packages/CrashPlan/target/bin/jna.jar /var/packages/CrashPlan/target/bin/jna.ja_”
        5. Move the downloaded jna-4.2.2.jar to the CrashPlan folder and rename it to jna.jar
        6. Start CrashPlan on Synology

        Bear in mind I also deleted the folder /var/crashplan which holds the .ui_info file. So in my case, it became a clean install, with a new GUID. And has I did not have much data, that was not an issue.

        As mentioned, I also set the path to Java8 in the install.vars file, but on restart that file reverted to the original. Nonetheless, it all is still working.

        Cheers.

        Thanks for your instructions. I did as you stated but it did not work. It tries to start and fails. In the log file upgrade.1435813200470_344.1468266697953.log it shows the following:

        jre/man/ja_JP.UTF-8/man1/rmiregistry.1
        jre/man/ja_JP.UTF-8/man1/policytool.1

        Troy…

        Sorry, I did leave out one step. I completely uninstalled Crashplan and (as I mentioned) also deleted the folder /var/crashplan which holds the .ui_info file.

        Then I installed Crashplan, moved the jna.jar into place as discussed and altered the install.vars to point directly to the Java install.

        You will need to start and stop Crashplan a couple of times, so it can setup a new .ui_info file.

      Wayne, I followed your instructions and it seems to work. It’s syncronizing block information now and that usually takes a few hours.

      Thanks a lot.
