Crashplan scripts
=================
This repository contains the script(s) I use to ease the administration of
Crashplan (an excellent free tool that I use to backup data remotely) I am
publishing them here so that others may benefit from these as well. Use them
freely and please let me know is you encounter any issues or require changes.
The latest versions, documentation and bugtracker available on my
[GitLab instance](https://gitlab.lindenaar.net/scripts/crashplan)

copy\_crashplan\_id
-------------------
Shell script to copy the Crashplan client connection key from a remote (e.g.
headless) Crashplan instance and setup the local machine's Crashplan client to
connect to it using port forwarding over an open SSH connection. This automates
the steps described on [Using CrashPlan On A Headless Computer]
(https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/4/Configuring/Using_CrashPlan_On_A_Headless_Computer)
on the Crashplan support website. This script works on Linux and OS X.
With the generated configuration in place, the local Crashplan client will
connect to the remote Crashplan service as long as an SSH port forwarding of
port 4244 is in place. This port forwarding can be achieved with the following
command:
~~~
ssh -L 4244:127.0.0.1:4243 user@host
~~~
Configuration parameters (at the top of the script:
Parameter | Description
-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------
HOST | name of host to connect to (i.e. runnig the crashplan service)
USER | userid to login to HOST (Leave blank for current user)
SRC_SYSTEM | System type of HOST, either Linux, Darwin, OSX or detect\*
\* if `SRC_SYSTEM` is not set or detect, the script will autodetect by running
`uname -s` on `HOST` using an SSH connection. This works reliably ut is slow
and hence best only used in environments with mixed systems.
These parameters can also be set throug the command line by calling the script
like:
`copy_crashplan_id` - use configured values of `HOST`, `USER` and `SRC_SYSTEM`,
at least `HOST` must be configured for the mode work (obviously)
`copy_crashplan_id user@host` - connect to `host` as `user`, use `SRC_SYSTEM`
`copy_crashplan_id user@host machine_type` - set all parameters from cmdline
I use this script to fetch the Crashplan connection key from my NAS (which is
running the Crashplan service but headless) and administer Crashplan remotely.
