[OmniOS-discuss] Crashplan alternatives?

[Guo-Rong Koh]

Hello everyone,

I know others here are running Crashplan for Solaris on OmniOS.
However, given the (not so recent) retirement announcement:
https://helpdesk.code42.com/entries/53070937-Solaris-Platform
-Retirement-Announcement
I'm seeking some discussion and advice on possibilities.

My original strategy for supporting Linux and Windows clients in a home
server 
environment is starting to
disintegrate.
Due to this issue:
http://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/Latest/Troubleshooting/Computer-To
-Computer_Backups_Between_CrashPlan_App_4.2.0_And_Earlier_Versions_Cont
inuously_Synchronize
my Linux client is now no longer backing up the way it used to (OmniOS server is on Crashplan 3.7, Linux client 
automatically upgraded to 4.2.0).
Than
kfully, the Windows clients seem to be OK for now.

Eventually however, I expect the whole solution to fail when Code42 EOL all Solaris support.

My current options are:
1. Migrate Crashplan to a Linux KVM instance
 - this seems like the least effort for now
2. Find an alternate, multiplatform solution
 - thus far I have found nothing suitable

Do others here have a migration plan?

regards,
Guo-Rong
