Searching the internet for a solution, brought several posts regarding similar issues (not necessarily with Hebrew but with other Non-ASCII languages), all of them mentioning system LOCALE, environment variables and UTF-8 but after playing for hours with the plugin’s Jail setup and making sure all settings are UTF-8, I still was not able to make CrashPlan backup my Hebrew folder and files. The CrashPlan UI could not read those files or was messing between folders and files and all sort of weird issues that prevented me from backing up my most valuable assets (mainly photos and music).
#CRASHPLAN EXCLUDE FOLDER INSTALL#
While the install process of the official plugin is very simple and you can get a running CrashPlan in less than 5 min, I had real show stopper with my backup files list, since many of the files and folders I have are using Hebrew names. I could not be any more wrong than that….
Since I’ve been using CrashPlan for years and there is an official plugin for CrashPlan, available for FreeNAS users, I thought my search was ended. After looking at some options, I’ve selected FreeNAS as the base for my setup and after finding a used HP ProLiant MicroServer (great little server for Home and SOHO NAS), I’ve setup my home NAS in few hours of work.Īfter moving all my data to the new NAS and setting up an external drive for local backups, I have started to look for an offsite backup solution for the system. I always wanted to have a centralized storage at home, for all my Photos, Documents and Media files, so I can share them across all devices on my network. So how did I setup my CrashPlan FreeNAS? Keep on reading.
Usually this blog is in Hebrew, but this time, since the post is not cloud related and more important very relevant for everybody and not only Hebrew speakers, I’ve decided to do this post in English.
