⁠Crashplan Backup

⁠Connect via SSH tunnel

The CrashPlan configuration service is per default only available for localhost. With this configuration a ssh tunnel is needed to be able to connect to the server.

Procedure:

1. configure pubkey authentication
2. Open SSH tunnel from localhost:4200 to :4243
3. ssh -L 4200:localhost:4243 user@server⁠
4. read server authentication token from '.ui_info' on the server
5. set port=4200 and insert authentication token from the server in '.ui_info' on the client (& store a copy of '.ui_info' for each server)
6. start CrashPlan app & configure server
