CrashPlan Setup- Launch the CrashPlan application on your system
- Sign in using your "@ucar.edu" account and, if prompted, enter central.crashplan.com as the server address
- Use your token authentication (DUO is shown)
- If this device is a permanent replacement for another device, select "Replace Existing" and continue reading the "Replacing a Device" section below. Otherwise, select "Add New Device" and you are done with setup. Read the "Restore Files..." section below if you still need files from another CrashPlan backup.
Replacing a Device in CrashPlanReplacing devices will keep you from having confusingly redundant or out-of-date backups when you no longer have your previously backed up device. The replaced device would be one you aren't expecting to have in your possession again. If you are unsure of your situation, ask your Systems Administrators for help by submitting a ticket. - Select the device you are replacing.
- If you need files from your previous backup, choose "Select Files" and follow directions in the "Restore Files..." section below. If you keep your files elsewhere, like Google Drive, then you can choose "Skip File Transfer".
- Continue and wait while CrashPlan renames your previous backup set to match your new system. This will allow you to access your old backup as if it were a backup of your new device and it will prevent unnecessary re-uploading of files from your old backup, if you downloaded them in the last step.
- You may need to sign into CrashPlan one more time after your settings have been transferred.
