The only alternative, as I see, is to use VirtualBox and install a Linux VM on which to install Crashplan for Linux v4.5.0 as jeronsoenmans pointed out above. Would be delighted to be proved wrong on this. Removing system files inadvertently leaves you to re-install the OS again, which may be cumbersome and lengthy.So as I understand it, all Crashplan clients need to be on the same version (see comments here ) and since I have some windows clients that I cannot prevent from auto-upgrading to 4.5.0, there is no usable way to restore the FreeNAS Crashplan plugin install to a workable state because it cannot be upgraded and I cannot prevent the rest of my Windows clients from upgrading.
