My Daily Tech-Journey

I recently got a E-Mail from Crashplan indicating that my NAS is not backing up data for more then 3 days. Since I don't check all the other backup state e-mails, this definitely got my attention An they weren't wrong. My local installation did not connect to the NAS anymore and the java process was also missing in the Synology's task manager.

Fortunately, there is already a Package that helps installing Crashplan on a Synology NAS.
