If anyone has any experience doing an initial Express drive backup of a linux filesystem, I'd love to hear their experience. Is there any issue with copying files to the Express drive using standard linux command line tools (such as rsync or cp) and having them correctly recognized so that once I start backing things up, it doesn't try to overwrite all the files I put on the Express drive? Backing up to IDrive on linux is done using scripts. SUE is the next evolution of upgrade tooling for both PLM and SLM. My only question is that it says that to put the files on the Express drive, use the IDrive app, but that only exists for mac/windows hosts. I copy my files there, send it in, and after it's loaded in, I start backing up. I have 3+ TB of disk I want to backup via cable modem, and upload speeds being what they are, that'll be 3 months or more just to do the initial backup.Īs I understand it, I can order an IDrive Express (even at the IDrive Personal level, I can do that 1/year for free) and they'll send me a disk.


The thing that excited me the most was the IDrive Express. For devices backing up to new storage destinations as part of recent changes to Code42 cloud infrastructure, version 8.8. Devices upgrade automatically unless you configured a global delay or organization exception. I found some possible leads, but it seems like it's time to switch, and initial research says that IDrive may be just what I want. Code42 app version 8.8.5 was released to Incydr customers on May 4, 2022.

So, my linux distro (opensuse) has been working with crashplan for years, but with the most recent update a few days ago, it no longer works.
