如何从另一台计算机控制CrashPlan的备份应用程序
Crashplan’s backup control app and engine are dead simple to configure and control from the computer they’re running on, but controlling them across the network require some well hidden tricks.
Crashplan的备份控制应用程序和引擎非常简单，可以从运行它们的计算机进行配置和控制，但是要通过网络对其进行控制，则需要一些隐蔽的技巧。
Dear How-To Geek,
亲爱的How-To Geek，
You guys seem to figure out any problem a reader pitches at you, so here goes. I had this great idea to save money on a Crashplan account by buying a single user account instead of a big old family plan pack, but I may have run into a hiccup.
你们似乎可以弄清楚读者对您提出的任何问题，所以就此开始。 我有个好主意，可以通过购买一个用户帐户(而不是购买旧的家庭计划包)来节省Crashplan帐户上的钱，但是我可能遇到了麻烦。
Here was my plan: Get Crashplan account, install Crashplan on an old desktop computer in the basement, have all my computers backup to the old desktop, and then have that old desktop upload everything to Crashplan. Now here’s the hiccup. I want to run the old desktop machine headless and remote control the Crashplan client for those rare time I need to make any changes. The problem is I can’t find a single setting to allow me to do so. When I install Crashplan on my home office computer the only instance of Crashplan I can control is the local one. Is there a way to control the Crashplan engine installed on the old desktop turned backup server?
这是我的计划：获得Crashplan帐户，在地下室的一台旧台式机上安装Crashplan，将我的所有计算机备份到旧台式机，然后让旧台式机将所有内容上传到Crashplan。 现在是打ic。 我想无头运行旧台式机，并在我需要进行任何更改的罕见时间内远程控制Crashplan客户端。 问题是我找不到允许我这样做的单个设置。 当我在家庭办公室计算机上安装Crashplan时，我可以控制的Crashplan唯一实例是本地实例。 有什么方法可以控制安装在旧台式机转换备份服务器上的Crashplan引擎？
Sincerly,
真诚的

Well great minds certainly think alike. You’re embarking on a backup streamlining journey we ourselves undertook a few years back. Before you embark too far on the journey we do want to point out one small hiccup you’ll experience.
好主意肯定会这样想。 您正在着手我们几年前进行的简化备份过程。 在您踏上旅程之前，我们确实要指出您会遇到的一个小小的问题。
CrashPlan’s backup application will happily run on your home server but it won’t backup CrashPlan archives made on other computers. This mechanism is hard coded into the CrashPlan client and serves to prevent the client from uploading redundant data. If, for example, you ran a client on your desktop PC and server, then backed up your desktop to the server you’d eventually end up uploading the same data twice from two different machines which is both inefficient on your end and on their end. If you want to continue with your plan to centralize your backups you’ll want to use another application to create the backups on the central server.
CrashPlan的备份应用程序将愉快地在您的家庭服务器上运行，但不会备份在其他计算机上创建的CrashPlan存档。 该机制被硬编码到CrashPlan客户端中，用于防止客户端上载冗余数据。 例如，如果您在台式机和服务器上运行了一个客户端，然后将台式机备份到该服务器，则最终最终会从两台不同的计算机上载两次相同的数据，这对您和他们的终端都效率低下。 如果要继续执行集中备份的计划，则需要使用其他应用程序在中央服务器上创建备份。
That said, as you’ve learned there are no apparent settings in the Crashplan client whatsoever that indicate you can connect to a remote Crashplan backup engine. The settings are there, mind you, but they’re hidden in configuration files and inaccessible from the client interface. We’re not going to knock CrashPlan here too much for that as what we did and what you’re proposing to do are a bit of a special use scenario and most people won’t typically be running the client on a headless and/or remote machine.
就是说，正如您所了解的那样，Crashplan客户端中没有任何明显的设置指示您可以连接到远程Crashplan备份引擎。 请注意，设置在那里，但是它们隐藏在配置文件中，无法从客户端界面访问。 我们不会在这里敲CrashPlan太多，因为我们所做的和您打算做的事情都是一种特殊的使用场景，大多数人通常不会在无头和/或运行客户端的情况下远程机器。
In order to redirect the Crashplan client to a new backup engine, you’ll need to search out the ui.properties file. This file is located in C:\Program Files\CrashPlan\conf\ on Windows machines. Search for a similar \CrashPlan\conf folder to locate the file on other operating systems.
为了将Crashplan客户端重定向到新的备份引擎，您需要搜索ui.properties文件。 该文件位于Windows计算机上的C：\ Program Files \ CrashPlan \ conf \中。 搜索类似的\ CrashPlan \ conf文件夹以在其他操作系统上找到该文件。
Open the file in a text editor. All the lines will be commented out with a hashtag (#). Look for the line #serviceHost. Remove the hashtag from the line and insert the IP address of your remote backup machine after the = sign.
在文本编辑器中打开文件。 所有行将以井号(＃)注释掉。 寻找#serviceHost行。 从该行中删除主题标签，然后在=号后插入远程备份计算机的IP地址。
Save the file and restart the CrashPlan client on your computer. It will now connect the the backup engine on the remote backup machine (specified by the IP address) instead of the backup engine on the local computer. Should you wish to control the backup engine on your local computer again, simply open the properties file and insert a hashtag at the start of the edited line to return the client to using the local backup engine instead of the remote backup engine.
保存文件，然后在计算机上重新启动CrashPlan客户端。 现在，它将连接远程备份计算机(由IP地址指定)上的备份引擎，而不是本地计算机上的备份引擎。 如果您希望再次控制本地计算机上的备份引擎，只需打开属性文件，并在编辑行的开头插入＃标签，即可使客户端恢复使用本地备份引擎而不是远程备份引擎。
If you intend to connect to and control the remote backup engine from outside your home network, we’d recommend configuring SSH and switching the service port in the ui.properties file to increase security; you can read how to do so in this CrashPlan support article.
如果要从家庭网络外部连接并控制远程备份引擎，建议您配置SSH并在ui.properties文件中切换服务端口，以提高安全性。 您可以在此CrashPlan支持文章中阅读操作方法 。
